Food & Drink site tour – 25th Sept – The Torpenhow Cheese Co & Three Hills Gelato – 10.30am to 1.30pm
We’re going back to the Torpenhow Cheese Company on Monday 25th September for cheese and ice-cream! We’ll begin with an introduction to the farm, a little on Mark & Jenny’s journey, followed by tours of the dairies and farm. We’ll then meet the cheese-makers, Gelato team and the herd! Wellies are advisable. Then we’ll wrap up with a networking opportunity, ploughman’s lunch and Gelato. There will be a £15 per person charge for this tour to cover the cost of a ploughman’s lunch and an ice-cream.
Anyone interested in attending please email lesleyr@cumbriachamber.co.uk Our first tour was a great success, so this again promises to be a really worthwhile 3hrs of your time. You’re more than welcome to join again if you attended first time as there’s plenty more to share, or if you missed out last time come along and prepare to be inspired! We also send out a monthly food & drink newsletter – if you’re not on our mailing list please email lesleyr@cumbriachamber.co.uk.
We’ll keep you up to date with funding, events, resources, business support programmes and much more!
