There are now 16 states (soon to be 17) where licensed raw milk dairies can sell their milk at farmer’s markets and through CSA’s (as well as at their own farms). The Massachusetts senate recently passed Bill S.2258* by a vote of 36-1 (and the only one who opposed it based his vote on the part of the bill which bans the use of plastic
Creole Cream Cheese with Bob Albers
Bob Albers of Mandeville, Louisiana is a retired electronics engineer who has traveled all around the country and the world. When he was a manager, he made sure his engineers wrote their directions carefully, reasoning that the directions are at least as important as the product. He definitely practices what he “preached” and we appreciate the attention he gave to his recipe for Creole cream
Why Wall Stenciling?
Why, indeed??? It’s time consuming, the clean-up is horrendous and who cares about their walls anyway! Well, you do and I do, too.

Paul Stovall and His Butterkase
Paul Stovall (67) of Sonora, California is the Frank Sinatra of the cheese making world- doing it his whey! What do we mean? Well, he makes his own cultures and his own molds and his own mats and his own-everything. He’s on a budget, yes, but he’s mainly an extreme “do-it-yourselfer” who doesn’t mind experimenting, even when that means “failing” a good part of the
Dan Crowther, Roller Derby Husband and Cheese Maker
Dan Crowther lives in the small village of Valley Falls, NY (population around 450). It’s about 1/2 way between Albany, NY and Bennington, VT. When he first saw our article about Kizzma, the Roller Derby queen who makes cheese (click here) he thought it was an April’s Fool’s joke. Why? Because he makes cheese and his wife rolls with the Hellions of Troy out of
Controlling Moisture in the “Cave”
The issue is humidity. You can measure it with hygrometers but controlling it is another matter. There are many ways to do it and we have posted several articles about regulating the humidity of your cheeses as they mature.* In this article, Pedro Collins of Stoke Lyne, Oxfordshire, UK shares his method. Pedro is a home cheese maker with a great Facebook page- The Little
