Fresh and Wyld offers a large selection of classes around the Farm, the Garden and in the Kitchen of the Paonia based Fresh & Wyld Farm School. We hire other Farmers and Homesteaders in our area, so students have Privy to one of the largest Campuses in the Nation. One can uncover a lot of knowledge and interesting folk-lore in 30 square miles of Farm Country!

All of our Classes have an emphasis on Farm to Table. Don’t be alarmed to find that a class on homemade Pasta and 3 Sauces will begin and end in Chris’s Garden outside Fresh and Wyld Farmhouse.

We have coined and fallen in love with the phrase S.O.U.L Cooking, which is an acronym for Seasonal. Organic. Unprocessed. Local. This is how we are going to teach you how to cook, live and eat, if you are willing! Our cooking classes will also teach you good nutrition. Hopefully we can demystify some of your questions around healthy fats and oils, grass-fed versus grain-fed meats, whole and gluten free grains, wholesome sweeteners, enzyme producing fermented foods, and oh so much more!

Our S.O.U.L. Cooking classes are on most Wednesdays all year long, though in the fall, winter and early Spring months we often teach 3 to 4 day intensives of S.O.U.L. Cooking, for you who want to learn more than the Wednesday 3-hour class can offer.

Our Farmstead Arts Classes focus on reconnecting you with your Heritage. Lost Farm Arts like Cheesemaking, Sausage Making, Leather Tanning, Weaving, Soap Making, Quilting and Preserving food form the Garden happen in these classes. We have 1 day classes on offer periodically, but again we offer 3 to 4 day intensives on these ancient techniques to better teach and help you understand an old knowledge that will enrich and strengthen your connections to life, your ancestral paths forward and backward and your own accomplishment of a finished product to take home with you.

Some meals are covered in your tuition, but lodging is extra. We always offer a 30% room discount to all of our Students. Come take a class soon!
