It was such a pleasure to spend the day with you. We hope you will spread the word about your Farm.Field.Sea. adventure, and, it goes without saying - join us again! Best, Nevette


Explore the 101 of artisan (hand-made) cheesemaking on Martha's Vineyard - understand why 'sense of place' -  the land, the animals, the farmers and the community create incredible, unforgettable cheese.

The adventure begins at The FARM Institute in Katama where we will experience the rhythm and hum of a working teaching farm. Meet TFI's animals, visit its vibrant gardens, and learn about the different breeds of cows and how the characteristics of the land and Vineyard weather contribute to the creation of special cheeses. Along the way, we also gather items to use in the design of our own edible centerpieces for our dining tables.

Then we will head into the kitchen with head cheesemaker Jacqueline Fosterthe brilliance behind the cheese at Chilmark's The Grey Barn Farm. She will take us through the history of cheesemaking, and you'll partner with other students to make your own fresh ricotta and mozzarella.

After a homemade lunch on the farm, we will sample 6 different cheeses and discuss the styles and flavors of new American farmstead varieties. By the end of the day, you will have the knowledge, experience, and recipes to make your own cheese at home, and the flair for designing edible centerpieces from goodies growing right outside your door.

Adventure is limited to 20 guests.
