Setting Your Sights Local

Here are K2 we are interested in all things beautiful, made with a great purpose and a soul to them. While most of the time that interest lends itself the to the international design world, we sometimes forget to step back and appreciate what is wonderful about our own backyard.  While recently in San Francisco’s Ferry building we fell back in love with one of nature’s finest pleasures—cheese. That gooey, earthy delight that when done well is unlike anything else.

Our current favorite is local producer Cowgirl Creamery—started in a barn in Point Reyes and now shipping worldwide. Their signature triple cream, Mt. Tamalpais cheese is out of this world and much like a fine wine, the cheese is made from a small-scale farm that respects the process, the animals and the surrounding local agriculture. Here’s our recommendation: Visit their shop at the Ferry Building, buy a round of your favorite cheese, pick up a fresh baguette at the Acme Bakery next door for the perfect afternoon.
