A Little Piece of Heaven

I just spent the day at one of the most wonderful places I've ever been to and it wasn't the beach! What I thought would be another typical team building off site, was not what Tami Cecil had in mind for me or the people I work with. Chef Tami is the founder of Woodhaven Farm located in Johnstown, Ohio - just 20 minutes East of Columbus. Her 10 acre farm consists of a beautiful farmhouse/barn with a state of the art kitchen, green house, 2 ponds, an organic garden and all the peace and serenity you can soak up in a few hours spent there. The facility primarily hosts corporate gatherings for team building and social events, along with a varying array of cooking classes. Chef Tami has an incredible history and is charismatic and full of life. She kept cracking me up running around saying "My children listen and my children don't do that, or wonderful job my children." The funny thing is she couldn't even be old enough to be any of our mothers! :) Her cooking show on ONN airs on Sundays at 4:30 (this is when I watch, there's other times too). I've been a fan of this show for some time now, but didn't realize it was so close. When I found out I'd be spending a day at Wood Haven Farms I got super pumped... and I was NOT disappointed. Not only was the food our teams cooked DEE-LISH, but it really was a great team building event. And the facility...! Oh... just beautiful. So home-y, inviting and relaxing. The kind of place you hope your own home will ever look and feel anything close to. Any way, here's a few photos I took throughout our day. I HIGHLY recommend that if you ever get the chance to visit Woodhaven Farm or interact with Chef Tami that you take up the opportunity. Here is a link to Woodhaven Farm to check it out for yourself. Enjoy! (I apologize for some of the photo quality, we had been sipping wine all day!)
