Learn cheese making techniques, processes, and how to form and wrap the cheeses. Work with the goats, play with the goats, and learn how to care for them. It's a jam packed day filled with learning, fun, and new experiences. The day finishes up around 7 PM with the evening milking.

Be prepared for non-stop learning and participation! This is an in-depth experience into the life of cheesemaking and goat management. There are many diverse activities and it’s all hands on. Milk the goats and follow that milk all the way to finished, packaged fine cheeses ready to be shipped to distinctive restaurants and gourmet shops around the country. Bottle feed the goat kids and maybe even help deliver some if you're here during kidding season. See how living “off-grid” has it’s benefits and drawbacks. Live a homesteader's dream.
