Festival Ticket Buyers and Sponsors - You deserve a big thank you!
You probably already know that here at CACF headquarters we take our mission seriously. Every year the nonprofit festival contributes 10% of all ticket proceeds to (1) protect and preserve the lands needed by the artisan cheesemakers for their cows, sheep and goats; (2) train and encourage the next generation of milk producers and cheesemakers; and (3) support the artisan cheesemaking community in California. The festival also supports the Redwood Empire Food Bank, which is working to eliminate hunger in Sonoma County. The tickets you purchased in 2011 helped us to donate a record amount - $8,000. Over five years California's Artisan Cheese Festival has made donations totaling more than $35,000. Our beneficiaries include:
- California Artisan Cheese Guild
- Marin Agricultural Land Trust
- Petaluma Future Farmers of America
- Redwood Empire Food Bank
- Sonoma Land Trust
Thank you for your support and helping to make a difference!
