Caribbean Culinary Journey: Farm to Table
Discover the true meaning of farm-to-table dining in the Caribbean. This isn't just a cooking class—it's a complete culinary immersion where you harvest, prepare, and feast on the flavors that define Sint Maarten's food heritage.
Each morning, you'll walk through our gardens and aquaponics systems, selecting fresh ingredients for the day's meals.
