Miss that down home cooking? Come out to Primrose Farm to learn the basics of wood stove cookery and combine farm-fresh ingredients with historic atmosphere.  Everyone will participate in the preparation and cooking.  You will learn how to operate and cook on a wood stove for a fully hands on class.  It should be a really good time!  Enjoy the fruits of your labor in a real, traditional dinner.

We will prepare a meal of roasted chicken, several sides and biscuits.  The butter on our biscuits we will have freshly churned.  Once the meal is completed, we will enjoy it together.  A tour of the farm is included.
