The author reached out […]
Recap: Cheese 101 at the Tisbury Library
This was a really fun one for me! A few weeks ago I facilitated a Cheese 101 + Tasting at the Tisbury Library. The library program coordinator reached out to me about doing a sort of cheese tasting / lecture class for their library members. I jumped at the opportunity! I had a lot of […]

Portland Cheese Shop Visit! The Cheese Shop of Portland
