Cooking Class and Farm Tour at Achadinha Cheese Company in Petaluma with The Field Kitchen
The Field Kitchen is thrilled to host our next Farm Class at the Achadinha Cheese Company in Petaluma. Achadinha is a family-owned farm goat run by Jim and Donna Pacheco and their four children. The dairy business was started more than 60 years ago by Jim's father, and now the Pacheco family makes award-winning goat (mostly) cheeses and cares for their goats (or "the girls" as they call them) who graze year-ound on 290 acres. They also raise jersey cows, beef cows, chickens and even a few ducks.
The class runs from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. We will send an email out to attendees the week before the class if anyone wants to coordinate on ride shares. Address is:
750 Chileno Valley Road
Petaluma, CA 94952
We will start the day with a tour of the ranch and the cheese plant, where you will learn how the various Achadinha cheeses are made. After meeting "the girls" and seeing the milking parlor, you will sample all of of their delicious cheeses. Next, we'll prepare lunch together using Achadinha cheese and eggs and other local and seasonal produce. Feel free to bring wine or beer to enjoy with the meal.
Our Farm Classes are a unique way to learn your food comes from, how it is produced and to get to know the people who grow it. It is a truly special experience to cook and share a meal together on the very land where your ingredients come from.
Please note that cell phones do not work at Achadinha, so you may not be able to reach us on the day of class.
