Are you ready to take your cooking skills to the next level? Calling all aspiring young chefs, ages 8-12, to join the COMO and Yellow Farmhouse Education Center for an exciting multi-week series of hands-on cooking classes, tied to the fresh produce coming from local farms!

Join us for an unforgettable day of food and fun, a playful celebration of local food and farming! Designed with kids in mind (but just as fun for grown-ups), this one-of-a-kind event turns our fields into a vibrant carnival of culinary discovery.

Celebrate the bounty of early fall in southern New England in this hands-on cooking class featuring winter squash, a staple in the Americas for 10,000 years that has never tasted better. Join Yellow Farmhouse and Engine Room's Chef de Cuisine Nick Teague to explore the history, distinctiveness, and remarkable variety of this ancient crop!

Hosted by Yellow Farmhouse, the day will feature guided discussions on barriers to local procurement, hands-on culinary and farming workshops, and a panel discussing how culinary teachers can partner with farmers to address food insecurity in their communities. You’ll leave with transformative ideas, new connections, and tools to expand your impact beyond the classroom and into your community.

Head on a flavorful stroll through Downtown Mystic's vibrant food and cocktail scene! This guided walking tour stops at four different beloved restaurants, tasting local snacks and sampling local distilled spirits + cocktails. Along the way, we'll share behind-the-scenes stories, introduce you to new local products, and give you a fresh look at the culinary and cocktail traditions that have shaped coastal CT. It's a lively mix of sipping, sampling, and discovery: perfect for anyone who loves great flavors, good company, and a twist of history.
