The Make-Ahead Thanksgiving
Imagine not spending all of Thanksgiving in the kitchen. Just a turkey roasting, and everything else made ahead, waiting to be warmed.
Two hands-on workshops where you make the core of your Thanksgiving meal with your own hands, using ingredients from local farms. You take it all home sized for your table (feeding 5, 10, 15 or 20), straight into the freezer. On Thanksgiving, you simply warm, finish and sit down with everyone else.
Come to one, or come to both and nearly your whole meal is ready, except the turkey.
No experience needed · About 2¼ hours each · Limited to 20 participants · Pierrepont Farm, Far Hills, NJ

The things every Thanksgiving table depends on, made weeks ahead: plate-licking gravy (finished on the day with your turkey's pan juices), cranberry sauce, all-butter pie dough, herb butter for under the turkey skin, and your own jar of Fleurish Herb Blend.
