From Ubud: Authentic Bali Farm Cooking School & Organic Farm

About this tour

A five-and-a-half-hour farm-to-table cooking class run by young local growers in Ubud's countryside. You'll harvest seasonal produce from the organic gardens, then prepare and cook traditional Balinese dishes using what you've picked. The instructors work at a relaxed pace, focusing on flavour and technique without the polish of mainstream cooking schools. You'll eat everything you make and return to Ubud with a working knowledge of island ingredients and methods.

Highlights

• Harvest your own vegetables from the working organic farm
• Learn Balinese cooking techniques from local instructors
• Prepare and cook three courses, then eat together
• Air-conditioned transport from central Ubud included
• Small group sizes, far from typical tourist routes
• Coffee or tea provided throughout the session

What to expect

After pickup, you'll drive out to the farm in the Ubud foothills. Once there, expect 45 minutes to an hour wandering the gardens with your guide, selecting ripe produce and learning what grows seasonally. Back at the cooking station, you'll work through each dish step-by-step: chopping, grinding pastes, managing heat, building layers of flavour. The instructors keep things accessible—no fancy knife skills required. Between cooking and eating, there's downtime to chat with the team and other guests. The whole process is unhurried; the aim is understanding how Balinese food works, not rushing through recipes.
