Community Education
At The Forks believes that excellent food is at root of building communities. The knowledge and confidence of how to prepare them, while also being supportive of local farmers and makers, should be available to all who wish to learn. We offer many cooking classes, from knife-skill basics to more unique and intuitively driven learning experiences. Check our social media for more information on our scheduled learning events!
