Discover the Heart of Bali: Our Story at Taman Dukuh Cooking School
Welcome! Step into a place where food, nature, and culture intertwine. Nestled in the lush surroundings of Ubud, Taman Dukuh Bali Farm Cooking School isn’t just about learning recipes – it’s a heartfelt journey into the soul of Balinese life.
Our Story: From Family Tradition to Farm-to-Table Dream
Our adventure began back in 2013, sparked by a simple, shared passion among a group of locals: to keep Bali’s incredible culinary heritage alive and champion sustainable farming. What started as cherished family traditions whispered in village kitchens quickly grew into a bigger dream.
We initially focused on growing beautiful organic produce, but faced a challenge – local markets often prioritized perfect appearances over genuine quality. Instead of being discouraged, this sparked an idea: What if we created our own market? A place where people could truly see, touch, taste, and appreciate the goodness of food grown with care?
And so, Taman Dukuh Bali Farm Cooking School was born – a vibrant farm-to-table experience built right amidst the fields where our ingredients grow.

Our Milestones:
- 2013: Built our first charming open kitchen on the farm and began cultivating organic produce specifically for our classes.
- 2022: After navigating pandemic delays, we proudly opened our beautiful new location, expanding our organic farm to offer an even more immersive and delightful experience for our guests.
