Food Studies, Artisanal Food Option, A.A.S. - Advising Sheet


60 Hours

Brightwater’s Artisanal Foods program was created to revitalize the significance of authentic craftsmanship. Sadly, within the food industry today the word artisan has lost almost all of its meaning, but fortunately, with our experiential-learning approach, Brightwater will help fully immerse our students in their artistry. By spending time in the garden, students will learn the value of crafting their victuals with quality, seasonal ingredients. Taking a true “farm-to- table” perspective back to the kitchen, our students will be empowered to create exceptional food. Our passionate and extensively trained instructors will guide our students to be masters of small-batch specializations. They will gain a historical, scientific, and technical understanding in how to fashion each product successfully. It is Brightwater’s goal for its artisanal foods students to impact the industry by reviving the lost crafts in culinary arts.
