Cooking Events in Carnation

Celebrate the flavors of fall with our Oktoberfest Bratwurst Workshop—a lively, hands-on class that blends traditional butchery, classic sausage-making, and a hearty shared meal. Led by our on-site butcher, Thomas Coss, the workshop begins with a half-hog breakdown, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how different cuts are used and why they matter. From there, Thomas will lead a bratwurst-making demonstration, walking through seasoning, grinding, and technique while sharing the history and hallmarks of a great Oktoberfest-style brat. After the demo, we’ll gather around the table for a festive meal featuring bratwurst, smoked ham hock, and spätzle, served alongside farm-made sauerkraut and thoughtfully chosen local beers that complement the meal and the season. Perfect for fall food lovers and Oktoberfest fans alike, this workshop is all about craft, comfort, and community—Carnation Farms style.
