Feb. 1st: Black Sheep Creamery Fundraiser

Many of you know the lovely, award winning cheeses from Black Sheep Creamery -- Black Sheep Tomme, Mopsy's Best, and several delicious others. Some of you may have chatted with Meg & Brad Gregory at the farmer's market over the summer. Really sweet people who make really tasty cheese. Sadly, the terrible storm in early December hit their small sheep farm very hard. They lost about 70 of their 90 sheep and their barn, cheesemaking facility, and home were all flooded. Meg has blogged about storm and slow recovery, and it is a harrowing tale.

On Friday, February 1st there will be a fundraiser for Black Sheep. For a suggested donation of $25-50, attendees will be able to enjoy wine and beer from local producers, cheese from the Washington Cheesemaker’s Association, the Oregon Cheese Guild, (as well as other international cheese favorites from France, Spain, Italy and England), artisanal charcuterie and tasty bites from Portland restaurants. A special account has bee set up at Bank of America, and all the proceeds from the evening will go to help the Gregorys rebuild.

We hope to see you at the event. If you can't attend, but would like to make a donation, drop a check by the shop and we'll make sure it gets into the Black Sheep Fund.

When: Friday, February 1st, 6-9pm
Where: Ecotrust Building, NW 9th & Irving in Portland
Cost: Suggested donation of $25 – 50, for ticket information.
