This hands-on Honors seminar will examine how our food reaches us through a mix of classroom presentations, cooking, and numerous field trips to local food producers. The class will offer a delicious introduction to the local food scene in and around Allegany County as well as to a wide variety of kitchen skills. Field trips will include visits to a local vegetable grower, a small organic dairy, meat producers, and a winery. Hands-on labs will include cooking locally available foods, basic food preservation, and an optional unit on butchering. Note: this course will include an additional $20 lab fee for supplies, and there may be additional expenses throughout the course for optional activities.
