Inside Look at Artisan Cheesemaking

Spend an afternoon at Shepherd's Way Farms award-winning sheep dairy covering cheese making basics and techniques and we’ll wrap up the day with a guided cheese tasting. Learn about crucial cheesemaking steps, overview a range of cheeses, and talk through steps of a typical cheesemake. We’ll spend time in the cheesemake rooms, learning about setting cheese with rennet, cutting curd, and about home and farmstead cheesemaking equipment. Includes a demonstration make of ricotta cheese! By the end of the day, you will have a good foundation for building your home or farmstead cheesemaking skills -- for beginners or for those wanting to know more. And you will get to take cheese home! (Adults only, please)
