Farm School

This hands-on approach to "farm-to-table" focuses on learning while having fun!  Hand-pick ripe produce from the garden or our customized farmers' market; learn to milk a cow, a goat and how these milks are used to make hand-crafted cheeses; sausage-making, dry rubs and four ways of smoking meats. This is a delicious 4-5 hour program for all ages!

Equestrian Adventures

Start with a quick "class" on horses with some facts you may not know.  Head to the arena for a thoroughbred demonstration of gaming, barrel racing, pole racing, roping and more. Our local horse veterinarian will be on hand to answer questions.  Finish the outing with a hayride behind the Clydsedales on the way to a chow line lunch!  Plan to spend a half-day, or this outing can be combined with the Farm School for a full day of fun!

Lake Fishing Outing

Take a charter boat out onto beautiful Lake Coeur d'Alene. At the end of the trip, bring your fresh catch back to the Coeur d'Alene Resort where the culinary team at award-winning Beverly's Restaurant will prepare it for you to enjoy!

Local Farm and Food Journeys

These customized trips are tasty excuses to get away!  Just a short trip from town are orchards full of you-pick fruits and vegetables, coffee roasters, specialty chocolatiers and candymakers, even the Small Planet Tofu Farm.  This trip can be created to your timeline, anywhere from 4-8 hours is optimal.

Dig It Day

Pick 1, 2 or 3 mines for your day. Silver and gold mine tours are among the most popular outings in our region.  There is also the opportunity to do some hands-on mining for Star Garnets - India is the only other place in the world you can do this - and take up to five pounds of garnets home with you!

Hoofing It Day

Meet at the trailhead to Tubbs Hill for a nature walk along the stunning shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene. At the end of the walk, we will head out to one of two stables in the area for a horseback ride amidst the natural beauty of North Idaho.  At the end of the day, wind down in the Spa at The Coeur d'Alene Resort with a wildflower or organic pedicure, or some foot reflexology, to pamper you tuckered tootsies!  This outing is an optimal outing at about 4 hours.

Chef Demonstrations and Cooking Classes

The Inland Northwest is very fortunate to have a tremendous amount of culinary talent to share.  Whether it is sushi making/sake tastings, ice carving demonstrations, olive oil blending, bartending school or some boot-camp learning experiences with one of the area's award-winning chefs ---- if you enjoy it, you can learn it here!
