Make your own cheese. Just for the fun of it. It's pretty easy. In this blog, I am going to talk about cheesemaking and provide recipes, tips, and resources for learning to make cheese at home. I encourage you to try some workshops, watch some videos, and make your own cheese.
How to get started...check out your local Organic Farmers Association they may or may not have workshops available. I mention the organic farmers associations first because I believe these organizations make a genuine effort to provide workshops with well qualified experts in whatever field they are teaching.
My first workshop was at Upinngil Farm in Gill, MA. Great workshop. Great farm. Great cheese making teacher/expert, Cliff Hatch.

Not all organic farmers associations will have cheese workshops. Don't give up...Google something else. Use keywords like: cheese making workshop [your locale] You'll find something.
- Also take a look at Youtube.com. I recommend Vito's Mozzarella making. Make your curd and pour hot water over it. How much easier could it get? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u89HWogCynQ check it out...but just remember, he's making a big batch. You're home batches will be somewhat smaller.
