The Farmstead Fresh Class

  This is a three to four hour long class for beginning cheese makers learning to make Mozzarella and Ricotta. This is Farmstead Fresh at its best.  In this class we will start by milking a cow and discuss the importance of quality milk and cream for cheese making and why I chose that particular cow- her nutrition, stage of lactation and pedigree, to make the fresh delicious Ricotta and Mozzarella which will be the highlight of this cheese making class. From there we will proceed into the Creamery where we'll learn the joys of making these two fresh cheeses, including learning about the equipment and ingredients needed. From this class you will have the knowledge, experience, recipes and the cheese you make to take home to enjoy. The cheese making classes are small classes usually four or five individuals per class and are held from early April to the end of October each year.
