Private heritage-baking technique workshops
Gather around salt-rising bread instead of a standard party menu.
Lost Creek Farm
Mike Costello and Amy Dawson invite private groups to learn from their heritage kitchen. Named workshop subjects include salt-rising bread and vinegar pie, with the stories behind the techniques forming part of the experience. This listing concerns a specifically arranged cooking lesson, not ordinary catering or an assumption that Appalachian food itself is a novelty.
Current location note / listed area: Lost Creek, West Virginia; private teaching by arrangement
Ask which named technique is currently teachable, where the session occurs, group size, ingredients, dietary limitations and date acceptance. No wedding package is stated. The separate public Farm & Forage Supper Club is sold out for 2026 and its listed season has elapsed; those tickets are not a private-booking route. The contact FAQ also retains 2025 dates.

Owned contact identifies Lost Creek Farm at Lost Creek West Virginia and names its chef and farm manager. The farm biography establishes an operating farm and teaching kitchen rather than a mailing address; current private teaching is a separate offer from public seasonal dinners.
