Want to lock in an invite for this tasting? Be one of the first 7 (spots are closing fast!) Food Shift supporters to donate or pledge $250 to be treated to flavors ranging from Cookies & Cream (where he makes his own “Oreo”) to unique creations like “The Cheese Board” made with Cowgirl Creamery’s Mt.
