Dairy Lovers farm Tour -- September 17
A tour like no udder! Travel with CUESA to the rolling hills of Petaluma. We’ll visit two dairies:Achadinha Cheese Company, where Donna Pacheco makes award-winning cheeses by hand with milk from her own goats, and Saint Benoit Yogurt, located at the Diamond M Dairy, where Benoit de Korsak crafts small batches of organic French-style yogurt from Jersey milk. Tour attendees will see the goats and cows in their pastures, learn about how they are raised and milked, and get a close look at the cheese making and yogurt making processes from start to finish. The tour includes lunch made with farmers market ingredients More info or buy tickets
Peach Sale -- August 14
On your marks, get set, can! Stop by the Bella Viva Orchards stand in the market on August 14th and you'll get a lot of yellow peaches for your dollars (twice as many, in fact). Be there or be... sad in January when you don't have home-canned local peaches to eat for breakfast!
Kombucha class with Urban Kitchen SF -- August 23
Jonesin' for your regular kombucha fix? Look no further! Instructor and herbalist Joshua Muscat of the San Francisco Botanical Medicine Clinic will teach you how to safely brew a supply at home while explaining the history and health benefits of this fermented tea. Best of all, each participant gets to bring home their very own S.C.O.B.Y. baby, the Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast that transforms plain old green tea into kombucha liquid gold.
