Starting out with milk from the local cows, learn about the steps involved in making cheese. Mixing, heating, pressing and eventually eating, of course! Make your own little farmer's cheese. This is a very young cheese that can be eaten directly or ripened at home using liquid plastic as a cover around the cheese.
