Farm Fresh Cooking Class: Heirloom wheat 5/24

At the farm we use flours made from heirloom wheat grown and milled in Boulder County.  Learn how to make this special flour into bread and pastries in this adventurous baking class.  We will focus on bread like brioche and sourdough, as well as laminated doughs like puff pastry and croissant.  Feel and taste the characteristics of locally milled flour and learn about the history of wheat cultivation as we roll and bake pastries and breads.

The culinary philosophy of Elkstone Farm is rooted in seasonality, as we constantly attempt to reflect a sense of time and place on the farm.  Even in winter, the farm and the valley have a culinary identity that we try to capture.  Local food supports our local economy and the families who grow these things.  When produce is left on the vine or in the ground until just before sale the nutritional benefit is maximized, and the freshness is unrivaled.  Our cooking classes have these same values as we apply ancient techniques to local products.
