Swiss delicacy

Mike Glauser takes an inventive, experimental approach to cheese making with his company, Jumi. Glauser is the maverick in a family of cheesemakers from Belp, in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. His most popular creation is Belper Knolle, a truffle-like cheesy mix of garlic, black pepper and Himalayan salt. Belper Knolle is a hard, dry cheese that can be grated on pasta, eggs, or roasted vegetables with magical results.

California pastas

Community Grains’ mission is to rebuild a vibrant grain economy in California. Bob Klein, founder of Community Grains and Oliveto Restaurant in Oakland, believes that sustainably grown grains can restore the health of our community and environment. A package of industrial food can’t tell you where its pasta comes from, but Community Grains helps you trace each product back to the California farm that grew it.

Cows in Sausalito? The history of dairy farming in southern Marin

An evening with historian Mike Moyle

Thursday, October 25 @ 7 pm  • Admission is free

In the late 1800’s, Marin was the Bay Area’s major supplier of dairy products, and cows were often seen on the streets of Sausalito and grazing on the surrounding hillsides.  Into the 1950’s, over 40 dairies were active in southern Marin alone, all of them operated by Portuguese immigrants from the Azores and their descendants. Today almost no trace of them remains.

Join us for an evening with local historian Mike Moyle and learn about the history of these dairies and their contribution to Sausalito.
