Grow, Cook, Eat Discovery Sessions at The Countryside Kitchen


Grow, Cook, Eat Discovery Sessions at The Countryside Kitchen

We’re delighted to share some exciting news , The Countryside Kitchen will be hosting a programme of Grow, Cook, Eat Discovery Sessions with SPRING Northamptonshire, led by farmer, food writer, and broadcaster Milly Fyfe. Our next session takes place on 23rd January.


Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community Fund and West Northamptonshire Council, these workshops will be free to attend, with transport and lunch included.

What’s it all about?

The sessions will take place in our farm-based classroom at Orchard Farm in Yelvertoft – the perfect setting to reconnect with food, farming, and wellbeing.


Over the course of six workshops, Milly will share her knowledge and passion for cooking from scratch, showing participants how simple, healthy meals can be created using seasonal and sustainable ingredients. But it’s more than just cooking – you’ll also step outside into the fresh air, enjoy a guided tour of the working farm, and maybe even meet a few furry or feathery friends along the way! After lunch you will take part in some guided mindfulness relaxation with  experienced practitioner Claire Hewer-Barnett.

Who can take part?

  • Three workshops will be dedicated to clients of Spring, running across three separate months.
  • Three workshops will be open to the wider public, with priority for residents of the Southbrook estate.


Transport & Lunch

To make the sessions accessible for everyone:

  • Spring sessions will include transport from Brook Street Long Stay Car Park, Daventry (NN11 9YB) at 9:30am.
  • Public sessions will include transport from Southbrook Community Centre (NN11 4JS) at 9:30am.


All workshops include a freshly prepared lunch – made by participants during the session – so you’ll leave nourished in body and spirit.

Why join us?

  • Learn to cook healthy, budget-friendly meals
  • Reconnect with nature in a mindful, farm-based setting
  • Enjoy hands-on learning in the heart of the countryside
