Cheese making is an ancient and simple way to preserve fresh milk. We'll make two kinds of fresh, soft and delicious Farmer Cheese from scratch, taste a variety of homemade cheeses, and in the end you'll get some cultures to make your own. Why buy expensive imported chevre when you can make it yourself from local milk?

Taught by Sue Romas, farm resident and homemaking expert. Sue's only been making cheese for a little while but she's really, really excited to share the joy of homemade cheese with everyone.

Class limit 6, preregistration required. Class fee $20.
Crackers for tasting and tea provided.
Family friendly: there will be childcare available during the workshop for a small fee, although no small children will be allowed in the kitchen due to space and safety concerns.
