Early Dawn Farm will provide all the tools and ingredients needed, including butter muslin and food-grade pails for pressing the Churuguara cheese made in class for each participant to take home.
During the workshop, Dr. Zavala will share stories of her travels and introduce you to the cheeses she loves from her home country of Venezuela. You’ll not only sample a variety of Latin American cheeses but also gain the knowledge and confidence to start making your own at home.
Farm-Style Potluck Lunch
We’ll break for a delicious lunch featuring freshly made arepas with a potluck twist! Dr. Zavala will provide the fresh, warm Arepas, and Palmita cheese, and participants are encouraged to bring tasty fillings such as pulled pork, ground beef, black beans, or other favorites.
Come ready to learn, taste, and take home your very own homemade cheese. Spaces are limited—sign up early!
A lot of the unique cheeses you will be sampling in class will be available for purchase after at the Early Dawn Farm Store
