Free Tastings at Mother’s
11.07.12
Mother's Market and Kitchen is hosting free holiday tastings this month starting with their organic and imported cheese tasting on November 8. If you have never been to Mother's, it is a treat to walk in and get your senses blasted by the fresh produce, blended juices and apparently, quite a selection of cheese.
The casual evening will not only include domestic and imported cheeses from sheep, cow and goat milk, but there will also be C-Salt Chocolate and local jams to try.
Reservations are a must so email sharonr@mothersmarket.com or call 800.595.6667
