A working farm. A kitchen made for teams.
Wickedfood has been bringing people together through cooking since 2001. Today, our country cooking school combines that experience with life on a sustainable working farm in the Magalies Valley, between Magaliesburg and Hartbeespoort.
Our purpose-built teaching kitchen is designed for learning and group interaction. Corporate groups enjoy exclusive use of the venue and the attention of our teaching team. Our events are not affected by loadshedding.
Seasonal produce from our farm and surrounding small-scale growers shapes our approach to food. Cooking gives colleagues a shared task and time to connect, away from the everyday office routine.
More about our approach: Why cooking is the great equaliser and why real team building rarely looks like competition.
