11am – 1pm, Saturday May 9 and again Sunday July 19

Have you ever collected your own eggs, right from the chicken? Join this class and you’ll have a chance to do so! Garden of Eve’s eggs are unique because our chickens are pastured. They live out in the field and eat grass and bugs which make these eggs super-flavorful, deep yellow, and packed with healthy Omega-3’s. Eggs are a savory complete source of protein and one of the most versatile, year-round farm fresh items in your refrigerator. Come learn how easily you an make some of your favorite restaurant dishes at home!

Recipes we’ll be making will include:

  • Eggs Benedict (hollandaise and poached eggs)
