Next up is pasta palooza with Chef Brandon. This hands-on workshop will guide you through the secrets of making amazing pasta dishes from scratch. Whether you are a seasoned cook or a complete beginner, this workshop will be fun and informative!

About Brandon
Brandon recently moved to South Royalton. He is a father, the sous chef at Twin Farms in Barnard, and a cook at the South Royalton Senior Center. One of his missions in life is to educate and demystify the art of cooking. You can follow him @bhamagramvt, and keep a look out for additional private classes that he will be hosting later in the year.
About the White River Land Collaborative
The White River Land Collaborative is transforming a former organic dairy farm into a community hub to support sustainable agricultural enterprises, forest stewardship, and community activities while reducing barriers to land access for young farmers and local Abenaki land stewards. We are working to build a model that can be replicated on farms across Vermont and the country.
All proceeds from this event will go to the White River Land Collaborative. (Thank you Brandon!)
