Tortilla Making 101

Tierra Vegetables Farm
Santa Rosa, CA

Sales have ended for this event.

Join us for a hands on demonstration of traditional Mexican tortilla making, taught by Lolita Casazza, native aficionado on the history and culture of corn and tortillas of Meso-America. Included are a farm tour of Tierra Vegetables and a pound of our sustainable, heirloom, non-GMO masa.

The art of tortilla making (and other corn based foods) has been an important part of Meso-American culture for thousands of years. Unfortunately, due to modernization of food production, the traditional way is at risk of being lost. Our goal with this workshop is to help keep the important tradition alive to be passed down to the next generation.

We will start the class with a tour of the farm led by farmer Wayne James. Afterword, there will be a discussion led by Lolita who will discuss the history and tradition of tortilla making. Helping to instruct the hands on portion of the workshop will be Norma, Queta and Mari, Master Tortilla Makers of Tierra.

Spanish speaking participants are encouraged, the class is bilingual. Participants from the Latino community are strongly encouraged to attend, however all are welcome!

Please bring a light lunch. We will fire up the grill to cook the tortillas from class, however it is encouraged to bring a light lunch or plan to eat before or after the class as a full meal will not be served.
