Saturday July 13th Ice Cream Making with Kurt Timmermeister

I am excited to be teaching an ice cream class at my farm again this year. To me, ice cream is one of the most exciting things to make: sweet, creamy, cold, flavorful and a great challenge to make well.

For five years I owned and ran Kurt Farm Shop, a great, tiny ice cream shop on Capitol Hill. Using milk from my Jersey cows, eggs from my chickens and fruits and herbs from the gardens here, it was damn fine ice cream.

For the class, we will go over the basic ideas of what makes great ice cream and then make a standard custard. Through the afternoon we will make some of my favorite flavors from the Farm Shop: Bay Leaf, Flora’s Cheese, Orange Cream, and Jersey Cream.

Between tasting ice cream we will have some lunch in the garden. It is sure to be a great day at the farm.
