Goats on 5th, Part 1 – Lactic Cheeses – 11am-1pm
Jack Ford of Taj Farms making fresh ricotta
Our morning workshop will start off covering the making of lactic cheese, like chevre, the many variations that can be made with chevre and its byproduct whey. Meet the goats that give us the milk for these cheeses and learn about how the goat and what she eats impacts the cheeses. Enjoy a tasting of cheeses to inspire your taste buds while learning about the ancient methods of cheese making used to preserve milk.
Class space is limited. Once class fills, a waitlist will start. If the waitlist gets long enough, there is a possibility a second class will be added.
Saving the Seasons – Tomato Jarring – 2-4pm
Learn about preserving the season’s bounty with another homestead art – jarring tomatoes! We will learn the “French Method” of cold packing the tomatoes from our local farms along with seasonal ingredients to capture summer in a jar.
