The Experience
Nourishment for Body, Mind & Soul
Step away from the noise and reconnect with the land, your food, and yourself.
Join Chef LeighM for Farm 2 Feast, a 4-day, 3-night immersive herbal culinary retreat, May 14–17, 2027, in Southeast Georgia.
Through hands-on harvesting, plant identification, herbal preparations, intentional cooking, and open-fire experiences, you'll explore the relationship between food, nature, and well-being.
Together, we'll prepare nourishing meals using seasonal vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, and ingredients inspired by the land. You'll learn practical skills in creating homemade seasonings, infused oils, herbal beverages, and farm-to-table dishes.
Beyond the kitchen, the experience invites you to slow down, connect with community, and rediscover the joy of working with nature.
Plant-based options will be available throughout the retreat.
From foraging wild plants and cooking over open fire to candlelit dinners, tea rituals, woodland reflection moments, and communal meals beneath the trees, every experience is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself through the herbal kitchen.
Your host, Internationally renowned Celebrity Chef, Nutritionist, and Wellness Speaker Chef LeighM.
Retreat Itinerary
Arrive
Arrival + Land Connection
Arrive in Southeast Georgia, settle into your accommodations, and gather for a welcome lunch on the land. Begin grounding into the retreat through an herbal land and foraging walk and a harvest challenge, then join Chef LeighM for a hands-on cooking experience using ingredients gathered from the land. The evening ends with a candlelit long table Farm 2 Feast dinner, fire-side reflection conversations, and rest beneath the trees as you reset your nervous system and prepare for the days ahead.
Day 2
Herbal Kitchen + Nourishment
Begin with morning tea, breathwork, and a garden breakfast before a hands-on growing, composting, and microgreens class. Spend the day immersed in culinary herbalism: harvesting and processing herbs from the land, a farm lunch and herbal beverage workshop, and the Herbal Kitchen Lab, where you'll create seasonings, infused oils, and herbal preparations alongside Chef LeighM. The evening closes with fire and earth cooking, a communal dinner, and gathering around the firepit.
Day 3
Herbal Home Kitchen + Community
Ease into a slow tea morning and farm breakfast, then bring the herbal kitchen home with Chef LeighM's Herbal Home Kitchen session and the Edible Canvas experience, a hands-on lesson in seasonal plating and presentation. The afternoon offers grounding practices, rest, and time on the land, followed by shared meal preparation, a communal farm dinner, and restorative evening conversations centered around food as connection.
Day 4
Restoration + Integration
Slow down through a final morning tea ritual, breakfast, and grounding practices designed to help you reconnect with the land, your nourishment, and yourself. Assemble your take-home herbal kitchen bundle, then gather for a closing circle and farewell lunch, with space to carry the lessons, rituals, and intentional practices of Farm 2 Feast back into everyday life before departure.

Farm 2 Feast
Offers a deeply intentional experience immersed in nourishment, land connection, herbal wisdom, and restoration. This retreat was created for those seeking to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and experience food, herbs, and community in a more meaningful way.
Over the course of three days, guests will gather around intentional meals, explore herbal culinary practices, participate in grounding experiences, and reconnect with nature through hands-on workshops, foraging, breathwork, reflection, and rest.
This retreat is not simply about cooking, herbs, or glamping.
It is about remembering how to nourish yourself with intention.
This Retreat Is Not About Escaping Your Life
This retreat is not just about herbalism, food, or travel. It’s about learning how to live your life with alignment. When you begin your day with intention and close it with intention, everything in between has a chance to align.
