Milk Is the main ingredient in cheesemaking.  And lots of it.  The fresher the better.

I thought getting a goat and milking it twice a day was going to be enough milk for us to DRINK., turns out its way more than a person could drink in a day.  Ha!  Now that's a LOT of milk.  I was bringing a gallon of milk in at a time - twice a day!  2 GALLONS a DAY!  So much for a glass of milk with dinner.... 

I had to find something to do with all this milk.  And quick.  I started researching and finding recipes for cheese and started playing.  I threw a lot of milk away.  Well, cheese wanna be's.  Nothing turned out. 

I started making my own recipes - because nobody else's recipes worked. 

But soon I had something we called cheese.  And it was good!  That was the start of the cheese trail.  Now I make several different kinds. I have even played with some different Herbs and seasonings in it.  I've ventured into yogurt, kefir, sour cream, and cottage cheese.  How fun and so versatile.
