Our August meeting was hosted by Barbara Brooks in Lamoine at Seal Cove Farm. After an interesting tour, the group discussed the upcoming Union Fair and Common Ground Country Fair events (contact Caitlin for more info), the Open Creamery Day press release, and then a review of some of the info our Guild representatives brought back from the American Cheese Society conference in Montreal.

Meeting: Appleton Creamery, June 20
We’ll be firing up the pizza oven, so bring your favorite toppings! After the meeting is over, we have a tour scheduled at nearby Savage Oakes Winery, so bring some of your cheeses to taste against their wines. It should be a fun-packed day! Also to discuss: updates to the ACS conference, Common Ground Fair, and our non-profit paperwork.
See you there!
Rennet and Kid Butchering Workshop May 16 2011
Due to the fantastic and popular success of the Rennet workshop that the Guild and Little Falls Farm put on last spring, we would like to host a mini Rennet/Kid Butchering workshop at Appleton Creamery on May 16. Participants will learn how to slaughter, butcher and harvest rennet from a goat kid. The workshop will go from 10am to 3pm. Cost is $75 or $25 for Journey-persons and apprentices. Please email Jessie at [email protected] for more information or to sign up.
