Upcoming 2010 Events:
Hermann's Culinary Arts:
Cheese Making Sessions at Dierberg Star Lane Tasting Room |
|
Starting August 31, 2010
Series will run for 5 weeks, Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
$200 per person which includes all materials.
Classes will be held at the Dierberg Star Lane Tasting Room at 338 E. First, next door to Hermannhof Winery.
While cheese making is in theory a science, we also need to appreciate that it is an art. Often cheese making instructions appear simple, but there are skills and sensitivities one must develop for successful cheese making. And that's where a class in cheese making can help with a successful outcome with your first effort in crafting artisanal cheese.
Students will take home cheese molds, cheesecloth, printed recipes and a thermometer. Learn the basics of
techniques to make Farmer's Cheese, Brie, Cheddar and Mozarella! This will be the last session for the summer.
We are taking names for future classes.

Plans are underway for the 2nd Annual Country Fair sponsored by the Hermann Farm & Museum. A visit by the Montgomery County Old Thresher's Association along with Percheron draft horses, Clydesdales hitched for carriage rides, a variety of vendors offering everything from jams and jellies to locally produced honey products and apple butter simmering over an open fire creates a family atmosphere that's hard to beat. Foods, music, literature, arts, folk crafts and farm land critters all help celebrate our rural heritage. Fun for all ages.

A Lewis and Clark Christmas
December 4th and 5th, 2010
Saturday and Sunday open from 10am to 4pm
During Lewis and Clark's time, holiday celebrations were much more modest than those we know today. Socializing and special food would have been the focal points of the winter celebrations rather than decorations or lavish gifts. Come celebrate a Christmas with Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in old world style. Meet Sacajawea, Thomas Jefferson, Toussant Charbeneau, and all the players from the original Corps of Discovery Expedition. Participate in a Lantern Parade through the streets of historic Hermann, meet traditional craftsmen at work and experience a living history of an old holiday celebration. The customs that we think of today as traditional ways of celebrating Christmas, particularly the decorating of evergreen trees with seed pods, feathers, Osage orange, and strings of cranberries and popcorn all derive from old folkways and evolved through the course of time. A festive sumptuous dinner is held at the Festhalle, bedecked for the season, and is open to the public.
