Lunch and Learn: Connecticut’s Cheese Landscape: Past and Present

Join us for a delightful afternoon of good food and engaging conversations about local art and history!

Order ahead from Sweet Bella @ The MATT or bring your own lunch to enjoy. First Wednesday of Every Month | 12–1 PM

Hear from a local cheesemonger about New England’s rich dairy history and learn about the Connecticut cheesemakers that are currently leading the artisan American cheese movement. Kate Redin, owner of New Curds on the Block cheese shop in Oakville, will walk us through the region’s lesser-known cheese history and its active contemporary landscape. After the talk, join Kate for a Pop-Up Cheese Shop and have the opportunity to purchase cheeses from regional dairies and cheesemakers.
