One of the best things about having goats is the abundance of dairy products they provide. Here's a look at what's involved in the manufacturing of cheese.

While cream & butter can be made with the stove/churn, cheese is produced by using a "factory" which is located in the Winery .

This operation has been automated to run 24/7 and produces one wheel of cheese every three days. Each wheel of cheese requires 30 units of milk. The finished wheel is then identified via a manual process with our own custom QH Label.

It's not tricky, it's just a long elapsed time.

Cheese can be produced for those members participating in the Adopt-a-Goat program.

Please contact Tatiana to get into the rotation. Thirty units of milk will be required and the delivery date of your wheel of cheese will depend on the number of people taking advantage of this program. If we really start falling behind we can always purchase a second cheese factory but my guess is that it will be fine for now.

Unfortunately, because of the time lag it doesn't make sense to produce cheese for members "sans goat". It's just easier for those members to buy the ready-made product.

Give me a shout if you'd like to get started!
