Christmas Cheeseboard Course

Course Information

Around the holidays, many people spend time baking special cookies and desserts, ones that they may not otherwise make throughout the year. As homesteaders, you may brew your own special cider in preparation for the holidays, or grow turkeys just for the occasion. On our homestead, Christmas Cheeses are also part of our preparation for these special days.

There is rarely a day in December that doesn’t include some sort of special “snack tray”. Homemade pickles, cured meats, and of course, Cheese! That’s why this year, I made up my mind early that I was going to be sure to create content that would help other homesteaders fill their Christmas tables with Cheese. Last year I released a Christmas Cheeseboard Ebook, and delighted in watching as Homesteaders around the world made their own cheese for Christmas. However, as handy and cool as an Ebook is, it doesn’t offer the same visual learning opportunities as video tutorials do. That’s why this year, I have recreated my 2021 Christmas Cheeseboard Ebook into a course just for you!

This course takes you through the weeks coming up to Christmas. It will take you through a 6 week cheesemaking schedule, but you will want to make sure that you have all of your ingredients in place before this timeline, so that on that first week, you can jump right into cheesemaking.

Hi, there! I am a Mom to three sweet children, a Rancher, a Homesteader and a Milkmaid. I have been milking a cow and making cheese in my kitchen since 2014. Homestead cheesemaking is something that is dear to my heart. 200 years ago your mother, grandmother, or aunt may have taught you to make cheese; these days it is pretty rare to actually know someone in person who makes cheese. I teach homesteaders how to turn their milk into cheese, and as a life long learner, I am always seeking to listen and learn from other people perspectives and experiences. I am very passionate about traditional skills, homegrown food, and living a slower, more intentional life.
