At An Farm, every participant enjoys a truly hands-on experience. You will prepare each jam from start to finish under the step-by-step guidance of our experienced chef, who will patiently demonstrate every technique and provide personalized support throughout the workshop.

To ensure a high-quality learning experience, our classes are intentionally kept small. Each chef works with a maximum of five participants. For example, a group of eight guests will be guided by two chefs, and larger groups are divided into small classes following the same approach. This allows every guest to receive individual attention, interact closely with the instructor, and gain the confidence to recreate the recipes at home.

Throughout the workshop, you will also learn about the health benefits of each jam, how to enjoy them, and the best ways to incorporate them into your daily diet to support your well-being.

At the end of the class, you will take home three jars of the herbal jams that you have made yourself.
