Cheesemaker-for-a-day at Beecher’s?
Beecher’s NY is putting up for auction the opportunity to be cheesemaker’s apprentice for a day at their Flatiron cheese plant.
100% of the auction’s proceeds will be going to Food Bank NYC, to help community based organizations fight hunger.
At the Beecher’s Handmade Cheese shops in Seattle’s historic Pike Place Market and New York’s Flatiron District, visitors press their noses against the windows to witness a vat of creamy white milk transformed by the expert hands of the cheesemaker. They watch as curds materialize from the milk, and then knit together to create a fine artisanal cheese. Although he is aided in the process by simple machinery, the cheesemaker is crafting cheese using the same techniques that have been used for 5,000 years.
The winner of this prize will spend the day with a guest in Beecher’s cheese making kitchen learning about and participating in the cheese making process from start to finish.
The auction ends Oct 14, 2011 5:00 PM EDT.
