Eat Well, Live Well - Fresh from the Farm Dinner for Four
My monthly On the Farm Classes have been so very popular that I thought I would do an "at home" version with the same theme.
This week, I'll head out to several local farmers' markets and pick the freshest product and proteins; then in class we'll whip my all local finds into a fabulous dinner for four. The menu will include: seared seafood fillet with baby beet and local greens salad; herb baked local chicken with pan roasted carrots, potatoes and tatzaki sauce; Proffitt farms brie and beef burgers with a homemade bearnaise and a local mushroom and kale ravioli.

On the Farm at Proffitt Family Farms
Sunday May 1
1-5 pm
$65 per person
An early heads up on the next date for this very popular class -
COOKING ON THE FARM AT PROFFITT FAMILY FARMS
Proffitt Family Farms in Kings Mountain is home to my friends ranchers Shelley and Brian Eagan and their family. Proffitt Family Farm is the only cattle ranch in NC to raise cattle on certified organic pastures.
This beef is pasture finished, dry aged, 100% grass fed, USDA procesed with no hormones and no antibiotics.
Shelley, Brian and I have all been blown away by the overwhelming response to these classes, so, we've planned another for Sunday May 1 - hope you will be able to join us for an experience that will change the way you think about the beef you eat.
Class begins with a farm tour where we will visit with the chickens, the horses and of course, the cows, bulls and maybe even a calf or two; then we'll all settle into the Proffitt's beautiful home kitchen to cook with some of the best beef around.
Afterwards, class participants are invited to stock their freezers with a shopping spree at the farm store.
