Come by New Leaf and Meet the Cheese Maker on Thursday, January 20. Jerry Heimerl, owner of Saxon Homestead Creamery will offer samples of his award-winning Wisconsin cheeses: Big Eds (gouda), Pastures (cheddar) Saxony (alpine style) and GreenFields (washed rind from raw cows’ milk). He will talk about his fifth-generation dairy farm, and how he takes special care to make and age his extraordinary artisan cheese from the milk of their own cows. The free sampling will take place from 4 pm to 6 pm at New Leaf Community Markets, 150 San Mateo Rd., Half Moon Bay. http://www.newleaf.com
