You can dine in the woods at this farm near Toronto next month

Apr 25 2022, 3:33 pm

If you’ve ever wanted to try a more rustic fine dining experience, a farm near Toronto is cooking up nine-course meals in the back forty.

Pingle’s Farm in Hampton, Ontario, hosts Chef in the Bush on select dates throughout May. The dining experience will serve up several courses cooked over an open fire at the farm’s “bush camp.”

The whole experience starts with a 20-minute walk out to the farm’s edge, and then you get to sit back, relax, and watch someone cook over an open fire.

If you don’t like watching people cook for you, you can wander along some of the trails or sit by the fire pit.

The nine-course meal will be seasonally inspired and feature local and Canadian ingredients. While some of the menu is kept a surprise, you can expect to see tomahawk steak, heritage chicken, and an elevated poutine!
