FAQ's About The Milkmaid Society
The Milkmaid Society is a monthly membership club where milkmaids can find information, as well as community. You will find information on milk cows, dairy goats, cheesemaking, dairy processing and extensive troubleshooting. The content in the milkmaid society is growing every month, and past content never goes away!
- New content every month on topics ranging from cheesemaking, to dairy animals, to dairy processing. Some of the past content includes; one hour a week dairy processing, choosing a dairy animal, choosing and making feed for you dairy animals, beginner cheesemaking, harvesting your own rennet, building vet kits, baking with home dairy, Christmas cheesemaking and more.
- Access to our community Facebook page
- Access to all past content. Including written and video content, recipes, masterclasses and printable resources.
- VIP ONLY- Access to bimonthly zoom meetings where we focus on theme topics, answer questions, invite guest speakers, connect with each other and learn.
Though the milkmaid society was created with milkmaids in mind, it does have information inside that is applicable to people without dairy animals, as well as information for choosing dairy animals for your homestead and getting set up. This means that if you are in the planning stages of your milkmaid journey, the milkmaid society is still a great option for you!
It depends on what your goals are and what needs you have. My homestead cheesemaking 101 course was created to teach you in-depth pressed cheesemaking, whereas the milkmaid society covers a broad range of topics including cheesemaking, dairy processing and dairy animal information.
Unfortunately due to the fact that the milkmaid society gives you so much printable information, I cannot issue refunds on monthly memberships. If you do choose to go with an annual membership and are unsatisfied after 1 month, I will be sad to see you go, but I will refund your annual subscription, minus 1 month at the current monthly rate.
Yes, it will automatically renew! If you do not want your subscription to renew, you can easily cancel it in your dashboard. If you cancel it, it will remain active until the next payment period. This means that you can still access all of the content until the next payment period. Once the new payment period roles around, if you have cancelled, it will not renew and you will no longer have access to the content within the Milkmaid Society.
VIPs are given access to two monthly group zoom meetings. We meet at 4:30 pm PST the first and third Thursday of every month. The first meeting of the month is usually cheese themed and the second is dairy cow themed. It is a time to ask questions, go over monthly theme topics, Invite guests to speak and connect with other community members.
Prepare your inbox because I’m going to be in it! A huge piece of the Milkmaid Society is weekly, most often biweekly, emails from me. This is where I will share new content, teach, give you updates and is really an exclusive space for me to give you all sorts of information that I don’t share on instagram. If you are a VIP, it is also where I will send the zoom links and reminders of upcoming meetings, make alongs and more.

Check your email because you should have a welcome email from me. It may have landed in your trash, so check there as well. If you can’t find the welcome email, and you have given it a few minutes (I know it can be way too exciting to wait!!) shoot me an email cheesefromscratch@outlook.com, I will make sure you get a welcome email. In the meantime, you can access all of the information by using the upper menu bar, navigating to “my account” and entering the details you entered at checkout for username and password. Once on your dashboard, use the upper menu to navigate to the drop down menu under Milkmaid Society. Here you will find options for navigating to the welcome page (I recommend you start here), masterclasses, recipes and troubleshooting.
