Market Garden Gather & Cook
23rd July 2026 - 9:30am - 3:00pm | Daylesford Farm
This course is a special opportunity to spend a morning exploring and harvesting the freshest, most flavourful crops in season from our Market Garden, which is normally closed to the public.
MORE INFORMATION:
Hundreds of different varieties of organic fruit, vegetables and salad leaves are grown in the 30-acres of the Daylesford Market Garden. These include unusual heritage varieties as well as familiar things you would expect to find in seasonal veg boxes and farmers’ markets.
You'll spend the morning harvesting your own fresh produce from our Market Garden, when the baskets and trugs are full, the group will pause for an appetising snack prepared by our chefs before returning to the Cookery School to transform the haul into delicious meals, guided by our tutors. You will return home with the confidence and know-how to create delicious dishes using seasonal ingredients that are so often overlooked, as well as plenty of freshly harvested crops!
full-day course from 9.00AM - 3.00PM includes practical and demonstration cookery sessions, refreshments, course materials and a selection of dishes to eat created throughout the day. Guests of The Cookery School also enjoy a discount of up to 25% in our Farmshop after their course.
