Join Gold Ridge Organic Farms’ resident cheese expert Alli Keyser-Marti for a hands-on cheese board workshop on Saturday, January 25, 11am–1pm at Gold Ridge Organic Farms in Sebastopol. Explore how to create your own beautiful board showcasing a wide array of flavors, textures, and colors. Learn how to incorporate a variety of edible flowers and fresh herbs, local honey, apple cider syrup, balsamic vinegar, EVOO, olives, artisan bread, crackers, and dips to accompany the best local cheeses made by local artisan producers.

All ingredients and materials included in the $85 ticket price. You’ll get to take home your creation to share with friends and family—or you can enjoy it among the olive and citrus trees on the farm’s beautiful patio.

Building on a culinary career starting in her teenage years, in 2014 Alli Keyser-Marti fell in love with exploring the world of milk, salt, enzymes, and microbes. Her cheese journey includes managing Cowgirl Creamery’s original Pt Reyes shop, overseeing the Oliver’s Market Stony Point cheese department, as well as being awarded an ACEF Scholarship to attend the American Cheese Society’s Portland conference in 2022, where she successfully completed the CCP® exam. She has followed this passion from her backyard in California to small farms all over France, rural Ohio, roadside stands in Sardinia, and ferries in Croatia. Most recently you’ll find her skillfully pairing cheese with olive oil and apple tastings at Gold Ridge Organic Farms, as well as overseeing their custom olive milling operations and maintaining their organic certifications.
