Join us on the farm, where it all began. We will begin our journey by visiting the goats on the farm. We will learn about the properties of different milks as well as how to source goat and cow raw milk here in the Treasure Valley.
Then we will head to the class to learn all about the basics of cheese making. We will review the science behind cheese making, taste some delicious samples and then you will assist in making cheese.We will be making fresh, hand stretched mozzarella and fresh herbed ricotta cheese. As a bonus we will also make a rustic loaf of fresh bread. You will leave the class with your own handmade cheese and prepared bread dough that you can bake at home.

Event FAQs
It is not guaranteed that we will be able to milk a doe on the day of the class but we do make every effort to do so. If we do milk during the class we will allow you to try.
We use raw goat milk for our cheese making as well as cow milk. The cultures we use convert lactose to lactic acid so we do not have the ability to use lactose free milk. Once you learn the process of cheese making you can get the proper culture and practice with lactose free milk at home.
Our classes are small and each class will fill up. If you cannot make it to the class and you are outside of our cancellation period then your ticket will be forfieted. You can transfer your ticket to someone else prior to the class start.
Gates open for class 15 minutes prior to the start time. Gates will close 10 minutes after start time. If you do not show on time and do not contact us to make arrangements for late arrival then you will not be able to attend the class. Once the gates are closed and class begins there will be no way that we will be able to leave the class and open the gates.
Tickets can be cancelled for a full refund 5 days prior to the start date of the class. After this period ticket purchases are final.
