Edible Canvas Workshop For Adults

Edible Canvas & Charcuterie Workshop (17+)

Looking for a fun and creative evening out? Join us at 5 Acre Farm for a hands-on workshop where fresh ingredients become edible works of art.

Create your own edible canvas by arranging colourful dips, spreads, fresh vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers into a beautiful design that's almost too pretty to eat. Then, build your own individual charcuterie cup using a delicious selection of cheeses, cured meats, seasonal produce, and other tasty accompaniments.

Whether you're looking for a unique date night, an evening with friends, or simply want to learn a new food styling skill, this relaxed and welcoming workshop is the perfect opportunity to get creative while enjoying fresh, local ingredients.
