Goat Cheese Heaven, a farm visit & class

Like local food, teaching is a passion for me.
Last year, here I am showing off the locally grown corn
that I processed intocornmeal
at Berkshire Mountain Bakery.
This year, it’s cute goats, savory vegetables and crisp apples.

There are still free spots, so join us for this fabulous class….
