The brutal winter storms that hit the Northwest last month dealt a heavy blow to Black Sheep Creamery in Adna, WA (near Chehalis). Owners Brad and Meg Gregory lost most of their flock of 80 sheep.
Cheese lovers in the Portland area are offering the Gregorys a hand with the Cheese for a Good Cause fundraiser to be held Friday, February 1, 6-9 p.m. at the Ecotrust Building, 721 NW 9th Ave., 2nd floor. For a suggested donation of $25-50 attendees will enjoy local beer and wine and Northwest and international cheeses. Purchase tickets by clicking here.
Black Sheep Creamery’s artisan cheeses are available in Portland at Steve’s Cheese, Foster & Dobbs, Curds & Whey and Market of Choice.
