Cornman Farms Cocktail Class: Farm-to-Glass
Come join us Wednesday, August 19th, 7pm, as we celebrate the peak of the growing season, with cocktails! Zingerman’s Cornman Farms is a true working farm on Island Lake Road in Dexter. When not tending to the goats, sheep, pigs, and cows, the farmers and staff use traditional, sustainable farming methods to grow an incredible variety of organic heirloom produce, just yards away from the gorgeously restored centuries-old Barn where this event will be held.
At this cocktail class we will highlight the fresh taste of summer on the farm, taking advantage of the delicious abundance of freshly-harvested produce grown just across the field. We will use heirloom tomatoes, freshly-plucked herbs, and other farm offerings in three special craft cocktails, all while enjoying fresh-from-the-farm fare prepared by Cornman Farm’s talented culinary team. We will discuss why these ingredients are so special, as well as the history and stories behind the cocktails we’ll be exploring this evening. Guests will leave with recipes and the know-how to confidently recreate all the featured drinks at home.
Lager Lovin’ at Zingerman’s Creamery
America’s beer sweetheart – lagers! Crisp, clean pale lagers to malty, roasty dark lagers this family of beers represents the most ubiquitous style of beer consumed in the US. The word lager comes from the German word lagern which means “to store.” A perfect description as lagers are brewed with bottom fermenting yeast that work slowly at around 34 degrees F, and are often further stored at cool temperature to mature. We will gather up some tasty ambassadors of this style and choose cheeses and treats from the shop that highlight the great diversity of Lagers!
Join us on Friday, August 21st, 6pm.
Celebrating Beef at Zingerman’s Deli
We’re very excited to welcome author Nicolette Hahn Niman to Zingerman’s Deli for an exciting night of dinner, drinks, and a discussion of sustainable agricultural practices. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Slow Food Huron Valley.
In her book Defending Beef, Nicolette Hahn Niman, an environmental lawyer-turned-rancher, does exactly as the title suggests by proclaiming everything that can be great about beef if it’s managed properly. Her book discusses sustainability (with a focus on soil health, carbon sequestration, and water conservation), as well as the nutritional benefits of beef, and the positive impacts of biodiversity, managed grazing techniques, and animal health.
For this event, Chef Rodger Bowser and his team have created a unique menu that celebrates American beef and dairy cattle. The evening will begin with a cocktail hour that includes a diverse selection of cheese pairings from a small number of U.S. pasture-based dairies. We’ve hand-picked some of the best, including a soft, luscious spreadable young cheese, a fine blue cheese, and some well-matured aged hard cheese.
The main course will feature perfectly cooked, pasture-grazed and -finished beef, as well as side dishes and salads that highlight the best of the season’s offerings. Some of the menu highlights include:
- Bone Marrow with grilled garlic crostini and a parsley, caper, red onion and frisée lemon salad
- Gaucho-Style Beef BBQ shoulder and tri-tip, grilled sweet corn with Calabrian chili butter, pecorino and chives
- Bean ragout made with Rancho Gordo cranberry beans, green beans, wax beans, tomatoes and basil, and Zingerman’s Bakehouse Westwind bread served with butter from Vermont Creamery
- Individual-sized Concord grape pies with Roadhouse Vanilla gelato from Zingerman’s Creamery
Courses will be served with tasting-sized beverage pairings (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) as well as water. Additional beverages will be available for purchase.
See you soon!

Tea Time With a Twist at Zingerman’s Creamery
You might not think of tea as being a typical pairing for a slice of cheese, but the two can be exceptionally good together. Much like wine, certain teas contain tannins that are released once the tea leaves are exposed to hot water, giving it a full-bodied taste and making it a perfect accompaniment to cheese. Our cheesemongers have teamed up with the experts next door at the Zingerman’s Coffee Co. to choose some of our favorite teas sourced from Rishi Tea and picked some perfect cheeses to pair up that will make you look at tea time in a whole new way! Friday, August 7, 6pm.
