One of the hardest things of teaching cheesemaking in the way that I do, is not being able to stand beside my students and help them along with their cheese questions. Everything is pictures, late answers and “well if this is what it feels like”….. ect. One exciting thing that I have heard a lot of lately, is people interested in taking the knowledge they learn online and bringing it back to their homesteads for local workshops. I couldn’t be more excited to announce that this months theme in the milkmaid society is all about hosting your own on farm cheese workshop.
Even if you have minimal cheesemaking experience, in person workshops are something that you can teach. People don’t need to know the science behind how to make cheese, they just want to know how to do it in the simplest way possible. In the last 100 years, cheesemaking has been taken off of the homestead. Skills that were once learned from our grandmas, neighbours, and friends are now learned from books and YouTube. Its time to bring cheesemaking back to the homestead and to look at this skill that you have been developing and say, “I have something to teach”. Two years ago, If I had never looked at myself and said this, I wouldn’t have learned half the things I now know about cheesemaking.
