For the Love of Cheesemakers!

Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese

MALT’s work begins at the kitchen table. So we were delighted to host the MALT community at our (virtual) kitchen table for a lively conversation hosted by Robin Carpenter, writer, radio host and foodshed activist. Two great cheesemakers joined us live from their farmsteads for this virtual event: Tamara Hicks of Tomales Farmstead Creamery and Jill Giacomini of Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company. 

If you missed the live event you can still watch the recording below! Enjoy!
