Food Crafting

The more our modern world produces processed foods and foodlike-substances, the more the demand increases for reclaiming traditional food preparation. Unfortunately a lot of those old skills and traditions have been lost by many people. Here at Modern Farmhouse we can get you back-to-basics with the how-to’s of handmade food.

We conduct public workshops in locations around the Bay Area and also custom in-home classes designed for you and your friends. We are always adding new workshops, so contact us to find out the latest or to have us set up a personalized one for your group!
