THREE STONE HEARTH TOUR
Three Stone Hearth is a Community Supported Kitchen in West Berkeley
that prepares nutrient dense foods on a weekly basis for Bay Area families.
In this tour, you will get to see the facility, learn about the operations
of the kitchen, meet the worker-owners, and spend a few hours pitching
in and working on a culinary project with kitchen manager Porsche Combash.
No need to bring knives or aprons, these are provided. The day will
conclude with a communal, nourishing lunch.
The bus leaves the hotel at 8:30 and drives to Three Stone Hearth,
1 Boulevard Dr, Berkeley, California, for a 9:30 am arrival. Pick up

FARM AND WINERY TOUR
Includes Drakes Family Oyster Farm, Stubbs Vineyard and Clark Summit
Farm.
DRAKES FAMILY OYSTER FARM: During the course of the approximately hour-long
tour of Drakes Bay Oyster Farm, given by oyster farmers Kevin &
Nancy Lunny, you will learn about the cultural, historical and ecological
importance of this small family farm. You will be shown how we grow
both our "cluster" oysters and "single" oysters
doing all processing right on the farm in California's last operating
oyster cannery! You will be informed about our struggle to continue
to operate in Point Reyes National Seashore beyond 2012. And, naturally,
you'll finish the tour with a tasting of a freshly harvested Drakes
Bay Oyster on the half shell!
8:00 Bus Leaves Hotel and goes to Drakes Family Oyster Farm, 17171
Sir Francis Drake Blvd, Inverness, California. Leave farm at 10:45 and
go to Stubbs Vineyard Tour, 1000 Marshall Petaluma Road, Petaluma, California.
STUBBS VINEYARD: Planted in 1996 amid the fogbound hills of West Marin,
Stubbs Vineyard is a perfect site for cool-climate viticulture. We produce
small quantities of handcrafted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines in the
Burgundian style. Stubbs Vineyard is the only certified organic vineyard
in Marin, is off the grid, and is family run, with renowned winemaker
Dan Goldfield. We welcome you to visit our 11-acre vineyard.
Leave Vineyard at 1:20 pm and go on to Clark Summit Farm Tour, 30201
Hwy 1,Tomales, California
CLARK SUMMIT FARM
Visitors will see many animals including geese, guineas, milking Jerseys,
pastured
broilers, laying hens, turkeys, grass-fed beef, dairy and meat goats,
and pastured hogs. You will see how we raise our animals in an organic
and free range manner. That means letting the cattle take as long as
they need to reach slaughter weight, not rushing them with drugs or
cheap carbohydrates; helping our sows have their piglets wherever they
want, not confined in a tiny cage; giving the laying hens the freedom
to run all over the farm, and the broiler chickens plenty of room to
stretch their legs on grass while protecting them from predators until
they're bigger
Leave Farm at 3:00 arrive back at hotel 4:30
Cost for the three tours is $70 and includes lunch. Maximum attendance
is 55.
COOKING CLASSES
Held at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport Hotel
9:00- 12:00 Cheesemaking with Katherine Mowbray
My session will be a demonstration to show how to make 10 litres of
fresh
unpasteurized milk into Cheddar Cheese, in so doing explaining the principles
of
making firm pressed cheese which can be stored for months. Quark, which
is a soft cheese that needs to be eating fresh and Ricotta which will
be made from the whey as a byproduct of the Cheddar. Participants will
certainly understand the basic principles of cheese making and have
the confidence to go home and have a try at making their own cheese
themselves.
12:00 - 1:00 pm Lunch on your own
1:00 - 4:00 pm Crockpot Cooking with Jessica Prentice
Slow and Low: Nourishing Food from the Slow Cooker. Time to dust off
your Crockpot! Slow-cookers are amazing tools for preparing nourishing
traditional meals at home. This low-temperature approach is ideal for
dissolving gelatin, rendering fats, braising pastured meats, and intensifying
flavors. This class will introduce you to making broths, soups, stews,
lard, ghee, and even porridges and other dishes using a home slow-cooker.
Taught by Jessica Prentice, author of Full Moon Feast and co-owner of
Three Stone Hearth Community Supported Kitchen.
Cost for both classes is $45 and does not include lunch
