Welcome

A traditional hand cut timber frame event facility, affectionately known as 'The Barn', nestles into the bucolic rolling fields of the 300 acre Bird's Eye Cove Farm. Highland Cattle roam the pastures grazing on the lush grasses of Vancouver Island, while chickens freely wander and laze in the warm Cowichan Valley sun. There is no other place on earth quite like it, where memories are made and peace, tranquility and natural beauty are found.

Fall Culinary Learning Expereinces

Here are the details - we are tickled to be able to release them.  Remember all of our culinary learning events are about the hands on experience.  For this reason seats are limited.  Reserve yours!



'Give me Coffee!' ~ Coffee & Stew
As the weather makes us want to hunker down and stay inside, why not turn the attention on two comfortable companions; coffee and stew.

Take a walk through the world of coffee. We'll begin the morning at Drumroaster's Coffee. The journey begins (while enjoying a beautiful cup of coffee and a tasty Brioche in the newly completed learning area) with the source of the coffee bean straight through to the roasting process and then on to the individual cup that is being enjoyed.

The adventure for the day doesn't stop there, we'll move on to Maple Bay and Bird's Eye Cove Farm where our Chef Ashley will reveal her secrets to the perfect stew, with the star of the show being coffee. We'll learn about choices of ingredients, preparation and while doing so, enjoy a farm fresh lunch.

Our day will wrap up back at Drumroasters Coffee where we enjoy a tasty coffee treat to end the adventure.
$42.00 per person or $75.00 per couple. Price includes a hands on learning experience, coffee, brioche, lunch served with wine. 10:00am – 2pm November 18th 2012 Reserve your spot and secure your tickets by emailing: info@birdseyecovefarm.com or calling 250-748-6379.

'Covered in Chocolate'
Spend the afternoon wrapped up in chocolate. Brad Potentier, of Chocolaterie Bernard Callebaut will present Chocolate Truffle Making 101 alongside Bird's Eye Cove Farm Chef Ashley Lee who will guide you through traditional Christmas puddings..

Your afternoon will include a walk through time following the evolution of the chocolate industry. You will enjoy selected wine and chocolate pairings. Create and sample a modern take on a traditional Christmas pudding and as the grande finale create 40 of your own fine hand rolled truffles to take along with you.
This culinary event offers participants and beginner Chocolaterie the necessary skill to make the perfect holiday treats.

'London Calling'
Just in time for the holiday season, Christmas Appetizers with Chef Dan Hayes.

If you haven't had the opportunity to enjoy 'The London Chef' experience, make sure you plan to attend this culinary event as we bring the master himself up island to Bird's Eye Cove Farm.

You won't feel anything but comfortable and at ease (and well maybe a little swept off your feet) under Dan's direction. He'll not only give you some amazing and creative ideas for holiday appies, he'll show you the tricks of the trade along the way. This special experience will find you enjoying wine and appies (no one goes home hungry from a London Chef outing) while learning.
