Cheese tasting at Raleigh Downtown Famers Market
Raleigh, North Carolina, is host to the American Cheese Society's National Conference this year, and its famers market is paying tribute. The Raleigh Downtown Farmers Market will hold a tasting of local cheeses on the first day of August to coincide with the first day of the American Cheese Society's conference. The tasting will feature over 50 types of cheese, all made within 80 miles of Raleigh.
On Wednesday, August 1, 2012 from 10 am to 2 pm, at City Plaza on the 400 block of Fayetteville Street, the Market will host this local cheese celebration in conjunction with the American Cheese Society’s (ACS) National Conference.
The event will showcase a wide selection of the area’s finest cheeses and cheese makers, a grilled cheese cook-off featuring downtown Raleigh’s top chefs, local beer and cheese pairings with the North Carolina’s Brewer’s Guild, live music programmed by Hopscotch, local lunch vendors, and lots of fresh produce, meats, and artisan baked goods!
