Cook on a farm

If you just can't wait for the third annual Know Your Farms farm tour on Sept. 17, you can get a jump on it this weekend at Proffitt Family Farms in Kings Mountain. They'll have a cooking class, wine tastings and a farm tour from 3-7:30 p.m. Saturday (as in Sept. 7). The cooking part is taught by Heidi Billotto, the beef on the menu is from the farm, and wine will be available later at 7th Street Market.

The cost of the whole thing is $75, and you get recipes and wine notes to take with you. For a reservation, email Billotto at hlnc@carolina.rr.com or go to the farm website, proffittfarms.
