Join us in the South of France in the spring of 2027 for our Culinary Tour of Provence where we’ll embrace the culinary traditions of the region, visit the open-air markets, taste the local delicacies, and sip cold glasses of rose under the olive trees. We’ll explore the nearby villages on bikes (optional) and by foot, visit artist ateliers and enjoy nearby eateries. Together, we’ll cook in the gorgeous kitchen at our villa, using local ingredients from the market to make traditional and seasonal dishes from the region. As our single rooms have sold out, we have only double rooms remaining.

Hey friends, if you read and loved Gabrielle Hamilton’s Blood Bones and Butter, you must read Next of Kin. I could not put it down. We’ve decided to host a book club to discuss this work at 5 PM the evening of June 4th at Salt water Farm. I’ll be roasting lamb over the fire and serving up Negronis. Suggested donation of $25 towards food cost. Limited to 12 people. Simply DM me if you’d like to join. You can pick up a copy at the Arctic turn in Rockland. They just got in six copies.

Every so often you come upon a place that changes the way you see the world. Today, we brought our San Sebastián group to a 13th generation ham farm located in the lush green forests of the Basque Country. Oak, chestnut and beech trees surrounded us, the same trees that Christopher Columbus used to build his boats. A church sat high up on the property that was built in 800. Yes, 1,200 years ago. The grandfather of the family at the time was charged with ringing its bell at noon each day. He refused to walk to the top of the hill so they moved the church, stone by stone further down the hill so that he could ring the bell with ease. We wandered into an ancient room with ham legs hanging from the ceiling, the families cured meat products were sliced thinly and lain across our plates. We couldn’t wipe the smiles off our faces, completely enamored by the history and the aesthetic of this place. Just to know that such a place exists is an incredible feeling. Thank you Pello Urdapilleta!

Originally from the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, Arturo has many years of professional culinary experience as both a chef and culinary instructor in Mexico City. He brings an authentic perspective on Mexican culinary history, alongside practical kitchen techniques. In this three day workshop, you will be introduced to three different regional cuisines of Mexico and my hope is that you will fall in love with the culinary landscape of a country that I hold so dear.

I’m excited to share with you that we are leading two trips to the South of France. The first is a Culinary Tour of Provence where we’ll embrace the culinary traditions of the region, visit the open-air markets, taste the local delicacies, and sip cold glasses of rose under the olive trees. We’ll explore the nearby villages on bikes (optional) and by foot, visit artist ateliers and enjoy nearby eateries. Together, we’ll cook in the gorgeous kitchen at our villa, using local ingredients from the market to make traditional and seasonal dishes from the region. We have one double room remaining for this trip, so don’t miss your opportunity to join us. (We have sold out of singles.) For those who didn’t have a chance to sign up, we will be running this trip in the Spring of 2027 as well. Do let us know if you’d like to join us then.

The second trip is our first International Writing Retreat with Richard Goodman, author of the memoir, French Dirt. This week-long course is designed for those looking to feel inspired in their writing practice - both through the thoughtful coaching of our instructor and the beautiful landscape of Provence. Join us for a sensory-filled week and give your writing—whether its memoir, food writing, travel writing or the personal essay and whether you’re deep into a project or just beginning—a unique inspiration.

The location: In the heart of the Alpilles, Mouriès captures the essence of Provence—where golden light pours over olive groves, vineyards, and stone villages that glow at sunset. Known as the olive oil capital of the region, the landscape here stretches with silvery trees that have nourished generations and flavored the Provençal table for centuries. Life in Mouriès moves at a gentler pace. Stroll through narrow lanes, pause in shaded squares, and let the Mediterranean breeze carry you through the rhythm of daily life. From the painter’s palette to the farmer’s market, Mouriès embodies the timeless beauty of Provence that has inspired artists, chefs, and dreamers alike.

You can register for both trips through our website under the travel section. We hope you can join us!

Several years ago, my husband and I (along with our food loving freinds) embarked on a culinary tour of Southern Spain, beginning in Seville and making our way to Cadiz, Marbella and Malaga. We ate all along the Atlantic coast, indulging in an assortment of crispy fried fish squeezed liberally with lemon, tiny artichokes; also fried with lemon, bowls of salmorejo (a cousin of gazpacho), cured local hams all washed down with plenty of sherry. I’ve wanted to recreate these flavors in the Salt Water Farm kitchen for sometime and I’m exited to bring the food of Andalusia to our table. Join us on June 20th for an authentically Andalusian meal. Just a few spots left. You can register on our website at www.saltwaterfarm.com. Below is our menu for the day.

Our Menu

Salmorejo: Andalusian Gazpacho with Serrano and Hard Boiled Egg

Spanish Seafood Salad (Pickled Shrimp, Squid, Olives, Piquillo Peppers, Olive Oil and Vinegar) and Chips

Tortilla (Potatoes, Eggs and Olive Oil)

Chickpeas and Spinach with Cumin

Almond Cake with Bitter Orange Marmalade

Headed west over the Atlantic after two heavenly weeks in Seville with my family and friends and a third in the majestic Basque Country with a group of savvy travelers, and a quick trip to Biarritz France the day that Spain lost power. Still rich in my memory is the brilliance of a guitarist on the flamenco stage, our first plate of bocarones on a white quartz bar, the fragrant rose bushes and intricate tile work of the royal palaces, an invitation to one of San Sebastian’s private gastronomic societies and the exquisite meal that followed, the cool damp caves in which Rioja has been stored for centuries and the sun setting over the Bay of Biscay - a hundred surfers still waiting for the perfect wave before they loose the light. A thank you to all of our local guides and chefs, to for weaving it all together and the warm, hospitable and gorgeous people of Spain for welcoming us into your beautiful country. We’ll be back in no time.
