The Cellars & Cave Tour of Heath
March 8, 2014 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
$5 – $10Presented by the Heath Agricultural Society
Come tour the root and cider cellars of Heath, visit a cheese cave too. If you have thought about putting food away or making your own cider and want to see first-hand what a variety of cellars look like, this is the tour for you. Also visit Heath’s only cheese cave and learn a bit about what it takes to age and store cheese. Learn about what has worked and what hasn’t from local Heathans. Get your questions answered or simply satisfy your curiosity. The tour will conclude with a potluck lunch (all food provided by Heath Agricultural Society members) where attendees can share thoughts and ideas as well as ask questions of the individual tour hosts.
RSVP: by Friday 3/7 at 12pm to Jessica Van Steensburg, 413-339-4904 or wecanfarminheath@gmail.com
