It’s always an honor when someone who’s as busy as Deb agrees to do an interview with us. In her case, everything was going smoothly (by email) until she couldn’t get back to us because she and her husband, Steve were digging post holes for a new corral for their cow, Thelma. To our ears, here in New England, that sounds like The Wild West!
Sherrie David in Goldfinch, Texas
Sherrie lives “Deep in the Heart of Texas” in a town so small, there is literally no information about it online (not even a Wikipedia blurb). If you’ve ever wondered how people can manage to live their lives that far from so-called civilization, here’s your answer – “quite nicely actually.” Sherrie’s Story I grew up in Goldfinch, Texas on our large family ranch. Goldfinch is

Camille & John Bock in Willis, Texas
Goodgrass Farm We get a lot of questions about where folks can find good milk for making cheese in Texas. We know it’s a big state, but here’s a farm, just north of Houston doing everything right.

Cindy Johnson in Seguin, Texas
We started this interview with Cindy 7 months ago, but she had so many calamities happen in that time period, we weren’t able to make any headway on it. It was a seriously bad year for her, her husband and her cows. Even her cheese was cursed with flies. Fortunately, things have settled down and everyone is healthy now. And, after everything, Cindy emerged stronger
Mary Karish: After Her Interview
We interviewed Mary Karish of Katy, Texas 3 months ago (click here). She told us she thought she was the only cheese maker in her area until she read our interview with Vincent D’Souza in Fulshear, Texas. She was hoping her interview would lead to meeting more cheese makers. It did! Mary’s Post-Interview Story: When Amal Haddad, a resident of Morocco, read my blog on
Jessica Winslow & Steve Smaha in Austin, TX
It’s rare that both halves of a couple make cheese, so, we very seldom interview two people at once. With Steve and Jessica, we can see what a major advantage it is. They go to workshops together and they learn from each other’s experiences. Their cheese making really is “double the fun.” Their Story Jessica My interest in artisanal foods has its origins in my
Mary Khazen Karish in Katy, Texas
Mary lives outside Houston and prior to reading Vincent D’Souza’s interview, she thought she was the only home cheese maker and bread maker around. She told us she would love to get to meet fellow cheese makers. We hope through this interview, she will have that opportunity. Mary’s Story I grew up in a small village in the mountains of Lebanon, a tiny country in
