<\/p>\n
Monday May 26th from 2:00-5:00pm
\nRoots Down Market
\n54 Farmington Falls Rd, New Sharon, ME 04955<\/p>\n
*Will have coffee and light refreshments*<\/p>\n
Join us for a relaxed, discussion-based workshop to walk through the production of washed rind cheeses. Using a makesheet as our guide, we’ll go step by step, with plenty of room for questions, sidebars, and real-world cheesemaking talk. This isn\u2019t a formal lecture\u2014it\u2019s a collaborative session where we explore the \u201cwhys\u201d behind each step, troubleshoot together, and learn by doing. Great for cheesemakers who prefer conversation over instruction, and who want to understand the process, not just follow a recipe.<\/p>\n
