Private cooking retreats

Farm Stay Culinary Immersion with Heathar

Step into a slower rhythm at Eat Heal Farm — where the kitchen is the heart of the home, and every ingredient carries the story of the land.

Stay in Heathar’s cozy New Mexican casita — a cozy cabin in the woods, with hand-laid Mexican tiles, a wood-burning stove, and the quiet comfort of being tucked into the high desert landscape. Each day, you’ll gather in the farmhouse kitchen for private cooking lessons designed entirely around you — your skills, curiosities, and culinary dreams.

Whether you’re just learning to make the perfect toast or mastering the elusive soft scramble (yes, it really is harder than it looks)…
Whether you tend your own garden, frequent the farmers market, or are simply beginning to explore what “regenerative food” means…
Whether you’re a lifelong cook seeking refinement or a beginner craving confidence in the kitchen…

A private cooking retreat with Heathar is your invitation to return to the roots of nourishment — to cook with presence, to taste with awareness, and to remember that good food always begins with the land.

Nourish. Farm Stay. Retreat.

What you get

Wake up to the stillness of the New Mexico high desert — where sunrises stretch across open skies and the rhythm of the farm sets the pace for your day. Spend your mornings exactly as you please: greeting the Jersey cows in the pasture (they love a good head scratch), sipping coffee by the wood-burning stove, or curling up with your favorite book as the morning light pours in.

By afternoon, you’ll step into Heathar’s farmhouse kitchen — a warm, sunlit space where tradition meets artistry. Together, you’ll cook, taste, and create, refining your culinary intuition through a series of intimate, hands-on lessons. Each session is tailored to your personal goals — whether mastering rustic sauces, exploring heritage grains, or crafting soulful dishes that connect land, season, and nourishment.

Your Private Culinary Retreat Includes:

  • Luxury casita accommodations — your private sanctuary with full amenities, nestled quietly on the farm.

  • Daily private cooking sessions with Heathar (1–3 pm) — immersive, personal, and designed around your unique culinary vision.

  • Heathar’s Signature Food Resource Collection (PDF) — a curated guide to her most trusted purveyors, tools, and ingredients.

  • Personalized ingredient and grocery list to help you continue your culinary journey long after you return home.

  • An exclusive multi-course dinner experience with Heathar — an evening of conversation and farm-to-table dining that celebrates the flavors, stories, and spirit of Eat Heal Farm.

Rediscover the beauty of cooking slowly, eating intentionally, and reconnecting to the land — one unforgettable meal at a time.
