Join a Food Retreat.
A day built around genuinely good food, cooked with you and eaten slowly, on a private nature preserve.
Really good food, made properly, eaten somewhere beautiful.
These are day retreats built around food: cooking alongside the chef, foraging on the preserve for what is actually in season, and eating without rushing. The food is plant-forward and largely made from scratch, and it is good enough that people who arrive sceptical tend to ask for the recipes.
Forage in the morning, cook together, eat slowly.
Dustin runs a foraging walk across the preserve to see what the Ohio woods are offering that week. Wild mushrooms turn up in the food more often than people expect. Then you cook with the chef rather than watching from a stool.
It is a day format rather than an overnight, so you can come, eat properly, walk the trails, and be home the same evening.
