Cheesemaking April 2019

Cheesemaking begins @Blue Hen Farm. The Farmhouse Cheese Wheel, an easy and delicious start to a new adventure. You’ll notice in the video that the first wheel had an odd shape…second try was better (shape-wise). First try – wheel flattened out, probably the result of older rennet. Keep your ingredients fresh!

Come and visit us. Come for a day or come and stay. We have Tiny House and hostel-type accommodations for overnight guests. Join us for cheesemaking, simple fermentation, and hand-needle crafts. Get involved with the Oak & Acorn Genealogy Project. Try your hand at bookbinding.

Join us! What have you got to learn?

Happy Homesteading,

The ‘Ahhs’ Have It – Simply Fermenting

‘Ahhh… delicious!’ The “Preserving Food Simply” series is off to a tasty start with a successful first class: Simply Fermenting. It was a full house at the fermenting workshop that was held Friday afternoon at The Lost Arts House @ Blue Hen Farm. A good time was had by all and the “Salsa” and “Sauerkraut” results were scrumptious!
