We begin our day at Hudson Ranch in the Carneros region of Napa Valley, with our host Lee Hudson and Scott Boggs, his ranch manager. We will walk through the organic gardens and pick our vegetables for class, visit the farm animals and taste the wine and olive oil from the ranch. It is a true polyculture-oriented farm. Lee Hudson raises hogs, 3-4 breeds of chickens (both for eggs and meat), cattle, turkeys, organic vegetables (Lee has dedicated 3+ acres of his ranch to them), fruit trees, olive trees, grapes and produces wine. This is a rare opportunity to experience this special ranch and meet the charismatic visionary behind it.
This afternoon in Julie's kitchen we cook our lunch with our garden finds. We will enjoy lunch paired with wine.
