Tasting the Local Cheese Renaissance presented by Slow Food NYC

American, artisan, farmstead cheese making has indeed entered its Renaissance. Join two of our region’s most notable female cheese producers, Karen Weinberg of Three Corner Field Farm and Angela Miller of Consider Bardwell Farm, for a virtual tour of their farms and a tasting of their artisan, farmstead cheeses, including cow and goat milk cheeses from Consider Bardwell and sheep milk cheeses from Three Corner Field Farm. These delectable hard, bloomy, and stinky cheeses will be accompanied by specially selected wines provided by Union Square Wines and Spirits.

Proceeds from this event will support the activities and programs of not-for-profit Slow Food NYC, including the Urban Harvest programs that provide good food education for NYC school kids.

Where: Union Square Wines and Spirits, 140 Fourth Avenue (btn. 13th and 14th); Manhattan, 10003

When: Wednesday, March 16th – 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm

Tickets: Slow Food NYC members: $25 / non-members: $35

About Slow Food NYC

Slow Food NYC is the New York City chapter of Slow Food, a non-profit, member-supported organization founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life. We stand against the disappearance of local food traditions and people's dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.
