Put
Texas Cheese on Your Plate
The Texas Cheese Plate was held on March 19th,
2007
More than
14 Texas artisans shared their goat and cow's milk cheeses and their
knowledge of cheesemaking at the
Texas Cheese Plate, the
first-ever gathering of cheesemakers from across the state. This
follows in the footsteps of our 2005
In
Our Own Backyard: American
Cheese event.
