October 4th Class -- American Artisan Cheese: Bellwether for Change
September 24, 2007
Join us on Thursday, October 4th for a thought provoking discussion with Jeffrey P. Roberts, author of The Atlas of American Artisan Cheese. Jeff has spent much of his career working with food and agricultural policy, conservation and community development, writing and consulting widely on sustainable agriculture, artisan cheese, and the working landscape. We’re very pleased to have him at the shop to discuss the ways that American agricultural practices are changing and how artisan cheesemakers typify the shifting paradigm. He’ll be using Oregon cheesemakers as examples, so naturally we’ll be tasting their cheeses while sipping Oregon wines. Come to stimulate your mind and stay to stimulate your palate!
Jeff will also be signing and selling copies of his book The Atlas of American Artisan Cheese after the class. Be sure to get a copy of this terrific reference book on the American cheese scene!
