This will be fun.
On Thursday from 6 to 9 at the Growing Center in Somerville, we’ll have seriously delicious sampling of cheese from around New England. Plus some info about how they’re made and, most importantly, where you can buy them. Available to you, good eater, for free.
The Growing Center is a leafy nook outside Union Square. Thus, this will be outdoors. And the good people there are so organized, we even have a rain date: July 11.
We’ll also have some cheese-related snacks. *We encourage you to bring some too. (A crusty loaf, jam, chocolate.)
Please come — It’s our first 2nd annual something! When we did this last summer it was a really swell time and, for us, the first night we met a lot of like-minded people who have become very good friends over the last year. All thanks to the internets, and our collective interest in going to meet a bunch of strangers over good food.
Some of the cheese we’ll be featuring this year:
Fiore di Nonno — amazing mozzarella made by hand in Somerville by Lourdes Smith
Valley View chevre and semi-ripened — this is a small family-farm in Topsfield (North Shore repreresent)
Cricket Creek — gorgeous rounds of ripened raw cow’s milk from the Berkshires
Heartsong — goat’s milk camembert from New Hampshire
and several more…
Honestly, this is FREE. But we would welcome a $3 donation to cover the cost of the cheese (some of which is donated, some of which is not). We’d also like to kick some funds to the Growing Center and the important work they do.
May I come to the dinner tonight and videotape some short interviews for an informational program on local food for Somerville Community Access Television?
