Special Mother's Day Edition No Cookie-Cutter Mamas
We know mamas come in all shapes and sizes. Some biological, chosen or adopted. Many have lost their mamas or can’t be with them. For some, it’s “just” that special woman in their lives that cared for them and told them they could. For others, it’s complicated. We know these holidays are loaded with all sorts of feelings. And this year, it’s no different. In fact, all those feelings are probably exacerbated. So whether you want to treat “mom,” or truly - treat yourself, or just have something to do to pass the day… we’ve got a few options for you. Mother’s Day Gift Box ![]() Includes a round of Green Hill, a soft cow’s milk cheese made by Sweet Grass Dairy in Georgia. It’s like a well-mannered creamy brie that plays nicely with everyone. We’re pairing it with Raspberry Rose jam, Olli Sopressata Salami, Rustic Bakery Crackers, and dried figs and Turkish apricots. We’ve also included a complimentary bar of locally-made Madhu Chocolate in their Saffron Milk. (Madhu is the name of chocolaterie Harshit’s mother and means “honey” or “sweet” in Hindu.) If you’re ordering for curbside pickup, you can add on a bottle of wine. Also available with free shipping in Texas but orders must be placed by THIS MONDAY to ship. Note: We have a limited quantity of this gift box. (an approx half pound of cheese) $75.
Virtual Tasting Classes Sunday, May 10 (6:30 pm) - Women Behind the Wheels Join us for a live virtual tasting class led by our educators. We’ll taste our way through 7 different cheeses, all made by women. For this class, we’re showcasing all the ways women are caregivers in their lives. Some of the cheeses are made by the “goat ladies of the 80s,” considered the mothers of the modern American artisan cheese movement. Others inherited their farm and dairy operation from their mother. And some are childless and choose to put their love into caring for their animals. Explore some tasty cheese with us and many different ways women have played a role in the cheesemaking world. Tickets here. If you want to celebrate with family scattered in various cities or states, consider ordering our Cheese 101 in a Box for each household (of up to 4 people). It comes with a short video on how to plate your cheese, and then when you’re ready, a 1-hour tasting led by John and me (Kendall) on the cheeses. You can send it as a stand-alone gift OR all do it together in different areas. (To do that, one of you accesses the video and shares your screen with all your fam and friends via your own private zoom meeting. We don’t set that up for you, but it’s easy to do.) Contains approx. 1 1/2 pounds of cheese, 7 pairings, and crackers. *Free Shipping in Texas *Deadline to order Monday PROTIP- Many of you moms to babies and young kids are asking if you can access the tastings at later times since they normally fall during bedtime routines. Specifically and only for the Facebook Live tastings, the answer is YES! John and I host those on Wednesdays from 6-7 pm via Facebook. When we’re done, the video stays on our FB page and you can start it as soon as you’ve put the kids to bed. This clearly also applies to you if you’re just working late or like starting tastings later. Check out the upcoming schedule here, noting our May classes benefit #AmericanCheeseMonth.
