Turkeys tell us how they really feel about Thanksgiving
Have You Seen Little Seed Farm?
We’ve been traveling back and forth between Tennessee all year long. Why you may ask? Well, that’s where Little Seed will eventually cast it roots and we’re pretty damn excited! As I mentioned last week, we were a bit hesitant to broadcast that fact to the world because we weren’t really sure whether it would all work out as planned. Well, we’re still not totally sure, but we’re pretty hopeful and we can’t really contain it anymore.
Touring Murray's Cheese Caves

Last Sunday we took advantage of a special weekend where Murray’s Cheese opened their cheese caves for hour-long tours and tastings. Each session included a tasting of six cheeses, a glass of champagne and a guided tour of the aging facilities beneath the cheese shop on Bleecker St in Manhattan’s West Village. For $15 it was a steal. We also ran into the intern (Nora) who organized the Vermont Cheesemaker’s Festival at Shelburne Farms, where we volunteered this past summer. She’s now a cheesemonger at Murray’s, so catching up with her was fun.
Six Cheeses from Around the World
Above the cheese counter in the rear of Murray’s flagship location there’s a small kitchen/event center where our tour group was hosted. We were greeted with a glass of champagne, a spread of six fantastic cheeses (all aged in Murray’s caves) and a quick lay of the land.
