Students will be able to work in Fairchild’s Orchid Micropropagation Lab and will learn the sterile laboratory technique’s necessary to cultivate orchids.

It is eaten fresh, dried, made into milk, pulverized into flour, fermented, and brewed into sauces.

Chef Teh will prepare a variety of menu items such as stuffed tofu pockets, tofu terrine, farm-style miso soup and many more surprises. This class is ideal for a vegetarian.
