🧀Wild & Cultured: A November Foraged Cheesemaking Experience on Cape Cod
Hosted by Two Goats School of Cheesemaking
Step into the slow rhythm of Cape Cod’s off-season and learn to craft cheese inspired by the land and sea. In this immersive, hands-on class, we’ll combine traditional cheesemaking techniques with foraged local ingredients, creating flavors that reflect the rugged beauty of a Cape Cod November.
Participants will make a wild herb chèvre (dependent on availability) or cultured soft cheese, flavor it with seasonal foraged finds, and enjoy a rustic tasting board featuring local breads & preserves.
