The instructor was very fun, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was included. The food came out great, although, would have been nice to have a protein component to the pasta dish and maybe have us participate in making the sauce. Seeing where some of the ingredients (tomatoes) came from would have also been cool. The scenic spot was amazing and then of course the cow-milking experience was very unique. The extra stuff involved some long uphill…”
