Learn the craft of making Camembert. In this half-day workshop learn all about cheese making, including the history of pioneer cheese making in the San Diego mountains. Through a detailed demonstration of the Camembert process, hands-on activities and yes, cheese tasting, you'll come away with the recipes and knowledge to start making cheese in your own home!
Enjoy a springtime alfresco dinner and the Baker’s organic urban orchard, sustained by grey water irrigation. You’ll learn about the exciting new San Dieguito River Watershed Explorers Program. Lynne Anne is co-chair of VMF’s Advisory Board, and past Executive Director of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy. She will share the history and development of the new Program.
