Our Roots
Ian Knauer founded The Farm Cooking School as a space where cooks of all levels can come together to learn about and enjoy great food and real community. Not long after Ian founded the school, Chef Shelley Wiseman came on board to create a fabulous culinary partnership!
The Farm
The Farm Cooking School is located at 67 Pleasant Valley Road in Titusville, NJ. This beautiful property, in the heart of the Delaware River Valley, is also home to Roots to River organic farm and the Barn at Gravity Hill.
Roots to River's main fields are located on a 60 acre farm in the heart of Solebury Township Pennsylvania. In both Titusville and Solebury, they grow high quality produce, specializing in heirloom varieties and year-round production for farmer's markets, restaurants and a community supported agriculture program. Roots to River supplies the school with a majority of its fresh produce, flowers, and herbs, some of which are picked by students right before classes! The partnership between the farm and the school provides a model for what truly local and seasonal eating looks like where the farmer is deeply connected to the people they are feeding.
