Beginning cheese making

Monek Marie

My one new goat will deliver soon and I plan to make cheese and other products with the milk. It will be a new experience.

I found this link with ideas and recipes

As with most things you think, "Can I do it? Can I find time?"

It does look like fun and I really want to branch out in to doing as much as possible. And chemical free food is always a plus

You CAN do it.

I love cheese, when it's hommade with milk from your own herd, goats cheese is my fav..Thank you for the link!

@Denise Grant I'm so happy for you! What breed is your goat?

Monek Marie

@COWLOVINGIRL Nigerian Dwarf. Its father was Pygmy.

I like that mix. They are smaller and easy to handle but still give a good amount of milk.

The one will be kidding any day. The people I got therm from are going to move so moved the billy in with the does last month so the other 3 may be carrying too.

As soon as I get better about getting photos off a cell phone I will post pics

Oh yes pics!!!! I love Nigerian Dwarfs! The milk is higher in fat than other milks.

I would love to be able to make my own cheese. I hope to one day (the sooner the better) be in a position to do so. Thanks for the link. I will be bookmarking it for the future.

Adrenne Fiakas was a presenter with a fresh cheese making class, for both the 2019 and 2020 TGN Home Grown Food Summits. Well worth watching.
