The Chattooga Young Farmers are inviting interested individuals to their August class, an educational excursion to Rosemary & Thyme Creamery in LaFayette, set for Thursday, August 7th at 6 p.m.

Attendees will gain an insightful, behind-the-scenes look at a working sheep dairy operation. The class will cover various aspects of the creamery’s operations, including the care and management of their sheep, the intricate process of milking, and the artisanal craft of transforming fresh milk into delicious cheeses.

This hands-on experience offers a unique opportunity for young farmers and agricultural enthusiasts to understand the value chain of local food production, from livestock management to finished product.

Rosemary & Thyme Creamery is located at 5328 Chamberlain Road, LaFayette, GA 30728.

Drinks and snacks will be provided for all participants. Those planning to attend must RSVP to Lauren Jarrett by Tuesday, August 5th. Lauren can be reached via email at ljarrett@chattooga.k12.ga.us or by phone at 706.252.4266.

For convenience, a carpool option is available. Jarrett will be departing from the Ag Center at 5 p.m. on the day of the event for those wishing to ride together.

This promises to be an engaging and educational evening for anyone interested in sustainable agriculture and local food systems in the Chattooga County area.
