FARM TO TABLE EXPERIENCE
FRENCH FARM TO TABLE IS OUR WAY OF LIFE
Since its inception, Walnut Grove Cookery School has become a natural haven for cooking holidays in France. With fruits and vegetables from our gardens and foraged goods from our surroundings, Chef Duvin has the “raw materials” to provide an array of culinary creations and will teach you his life changing skills every step of the way.
WHILE YOU ARE WITH US
We encourage you to take part in our organic farm activities. Clip from the herb gardens, feed our resident chickens & goats, learn what we plant and how our hives thrive. Where stock permits, small batch selections of our home grown Copper Pot Kitchen jams & honey are available for on-site purchase.
You will be working alongside classmates and in a professional kitchen. From hand washing to footwear (and everything in between) our health and safety standards are enforced.

Health & Safety
When in our kitchen, you will have the chance to cook with two heat sources: gas and wood. We hand-chop the wood from our own forest. Staying close to the source, wherever possible, is our mantra.

While we have a variety of cookery in the kitchen, it's the copper that always steals the show. We match the pot with the process. But don't be surprised if you come home wanting a bit of copper in your cupboards. Eric is an expert at copper cookery. He is always happy to talk and cook copper with you!

Some say we have the best fed chickens & goats. They happen to agree! Composting is our way of life on the farm. What goes to the chickens, to the goats, or back to the earth matters to us. A sustainable farm is our ambition and as part of our team we will teach you what goes where and why.

Kitchen Composting
We believe learning should be interactive and hands-on, which is why we keep our class sizes small - inviting no more than 6 persons per session. This allows for personalized attention from our expert chef, ensuring that you receive guidance and feedback necessary to gain the most pleasure out of your culinary holiday.
