Mocktail Making Class with Jamie Swofford

Step into a hands-on, flavor-filled evening led by Jamie Swofford, chef-turned-farmer and founder of Old North Farm.

In this interactive class, you’ll explore the world of artisan shrubs—a time-honored method of preserving fruits, herbs, and botanicals into vibrant, drinkable concentrates. Jamie will guide you through what shrubs are, how they’re made, and how to use them to craft beautifully balanced mocktails.

Together, you’ll mix, taste, and build your own drinks while learning techniques you can take home and recreate.

Jamie’s story is rooted in North Carolina soil, growing ingredients on his family’s third-generation land in Cleveland County and bringing them full circle through culinary craft. His work blends farming, cooking, and tradition into something truly special and you’ll experience that connection in every sip.
