Wow ~ what a fun way to spend the day! Twenty prominent Atlanta chefs, several journalists and GFA Producer Task Force members journeyed via a “green” bus to Sweet Grass Dairy in Thomasville on Monday, May 4. The day was spent learning about farm life, making cheese (hands on!!), enjoying a phenomenal meal of local foods paired with Atlanta Brewing Company Beer and Bench Break Vineyard wine and meeting the goats.
Jessica and Jeremy Little were the perfect hosts and offered us an inside view of their life producing award winning cheeses.
A big thank you to Sysco and Royal Cup Coffee for sponsoring the bus cost, Buckhead Beef for the dinner upon return to Atlanta and Kroger for the snacks along the way. Hal Freeman was the gem who picked up the donated beer, wine and other items to make the trip a huge success.
The bus trip home … we are sworn to secrecy of the events! Hint: we ran out of our ample beer supply and the laughter was contagious.
