ABOUT

Summer may be coming to an end but grilling season's far from over. Pick up some local New York Strips and Ribeyes to grill with your autumn veggies at the Yuba Foothills Food and Water Festival (and market) on September 30th.

Yuba Valley Ranch- Grass Finished Beef is a family run ranch raising grass fed & finished, pastured cattle for beef. They offer the community sustainably raised beef they can feel good about eating. Their booth offers seasonal whole, halves, and quarters of beef - make sure to give them a visit!

It takes big-hearted volunteers to improve a community. A warm thanks to Eli and Rebeca for their start making the Alcouffe Center safe and beautiful for our festival attendees.

Want to learn the basics of how to make the best Italian melty cheeses from scratch? Get your learning pass now at https://foodandwaterfestival.com/workshops/

Salvatore has been a cheese maker and a water buffalo farmer for more than a decade. He grew up in Naples, Italy - home of REAL mozzarella cheese. After moving to the States, he taught himself how to make mozzarella since he couldn’t find anybody who could make it like they did in the old world.

Now he wants to teach this ancient art at the Yuba Foothills Food and Water Festival. Thank you Sal!
