You arrive on a dirt lane and the city’s heat shifts to the cooler hush of trees; citrus and olive branches lean over the path like curious neighbors. The class starts with Moroccan mint tea poured slow—sweet, fragrant, calming—then a short walk through rows of vegetables and an herb garden that will supply the day’s flavors.

History
Tajine cooking reflects centuries-old Berber techniques of slow-cooking in earthenware; many recipes balance sweet and savory elements introduced through trade and local produce.
Conservation
The farm emphasizes seasonal, local produce; visitors are asked to minimize food waste and follow host guidance on water use given the region’s limited freshwater resources.
