Enjoy Cooking Classes & Events

The Kitchen at Middleground Farms is a recreational cooking school located on a family hobby farm 20 minutes south of Portland, in Wilsonville, Oregon. Our cooking classes explore fundamental skills in the kitchen and garden, as well as the lost arts of handcrafting and preserving.

From honing your knife skills, to learning how to enhance your meals with seasonal sauces, we will guide you through the science behind food and why it behaves the way it does in different situations, making you more confident cooking in your own kitchen!

Come visit and share in our journey of bringing food to the table.  You may have a hard time leaving.

Warmly,
Jessica Hansen
