Hands-On Farm to Table Cheesemaking Class Using Fresh Milk from Homestead Dairy Animals
The Homestead Cheesemaking Class at Jireh Hills Family Homestead is a two-hour interactive experience that teaches participants the art of creating fresh dairy products from scratch. Using high-quality milk from the farm’s own goats and Jersey cows, guests learn the step-by-step process of culturing, cutting, and seasoning farmhouse cheddar and fresh goat feta. This educational session is perfect for food enthusiasts looking to understand the journey of milk from the pasture to the table.
The class includes a practical lesson in milking goats, providing a foundational understanding of dairy production. Participants are guided through the science of culturing and setting fresh goat’s milk kefir, ensuring they have the skills to replicate these healthy products at home. A detailed handout guide is provided to every student, serving as a valuable resource for future cheesemaking endeavors and helping to demystify the traditional techniques used in small-scale dairy production.
Designed for social interaction, the class accommodates up to eight participants, making it an excellent choice for families and small groups. Children under five are welcome to attend for free, and the session’s proceeds support a local summer program focused on regenerative agriculture. Whether held indoors or outdoors, the experience is adaptable to the weather, ensuring a comfortable and engaging environment for everyone involved in the cheesemaking process throughout the entire year.
To conclude the experience, guests have the option to add a campfire and marshmallow roast, providing a perfect opportunity to relax and connect with the farm’s peaceful atmosphere. This class emphasizes healthful living, practical skills, and the joy of creating artisanal food from fresh, local ingredients. By the end of the session, students gain the knowledge and confidence to continue their cheesemaking journey, bringing a taste of the homestead into their own kitchens.
