Barbara Hanley, President of the Guild welcomed us warmly. We’re looking forward to getting to know her better. The word “guild” comes from medieval times when craftsmen and merchants formed associations to maintain standards and to protect themselves in the marketplace.

Making a Horizontal Curd Cutter
Submitted by Jerry Pittman of Castle Rock, Washington Cheese makers really are the most interesting people in the world!

Goat Education Day at North Valley Dairy Goat Association
Don’t miss this! We couldn’t be further from California (we’re in Massachusetts), so we have never been able to attend this annual event.
