The Silo Cooking School at Hunt Hill Farm

Custom cooking classes, shopping, tasting, museum tours, slide shows, and gallery talks are among the offerings for groups and tours visiting Hunt Hill Farm. Located in the Litchfield Hills of western Connecticut, Hunt Hill Farm has been the location of the Silo since 1972 - a combination cooking school, art gallery, and gourmet kitchenware/food store. Now operating under the auspices of the Hunt Hill Farm Trust as a non-profit organization for preservation, the farm is also host to the Skitch Henderson Museum and Hunt Hill Farm Land Preserve.

When the cooking school first opened in 1979, it was the only recreational cooking school in Connecticut.  In a picturesque barn and nestled in the Litchfield Hills, it was truly a gourmet getaway.  However, it did not take long for this “hidden gem” to develop a devoted clientele of both amateur and budding professional chefs.

Coming on the heels of a successful string of restaurants owned and operated by the Hendersons, the Silo Cooking School has had guest instructors that ranged from local chefs and product representatives to Jacques Pepin, Giuliano Bugialli, Martha Stewart, and more!

Today, the cooking school continues to offer the same quality recreational classes for all skill levels and of endless variety.  World-class instructors – Rachael Ray, Betty Rosbottom, and Rick Rodgers, to name but a few – still enjoy the intimacy of the school and the beautiful farm.  We are sure you will too!
