Rhonda is a professional artist with many talents. When she was younger, she made her living any way she could – by hanging wallpaper, waitressing and cleaning houses. Now, she’s a painter, a potter, a jewelry maker, a yoga teacher, a bass player, a whole grain sourdough bread baker and a cheesemaker. On top of all that – When she was living on Ocracoke Island
Molly Brown in Altoona, Pennsylvania
Molly Brown is no stranger to adventure as you will see in her story. When questioned about that, she said, “I think everyone who goes that extra step of making their own cheese is at least somewhat adventurous. Otherwise, they would skip all the work and buy their cheese.” So true! Molly is a master photographer and if you want to see spectacular pictures from
Shirley Hampshire in Kingston, Michigan
Shirley and her husband, Randy have 6 grown kids and 9 grandchildren, so far. Due to Covid, daycare options are limited so they are finding themselves babysitting quite a bit right now. This is hard to imagine because their normal schedule alone is grueling by any standards (as in leaving home at 3am to go to farmer’s markets and getting home at 7-8pm). Their business,
Gert and Connie Kok in Pretoria, South Africa
South Africa is a long way from most of us. However, the internet brings us together in fascinating ways.

Keith Stuart Phoenix in Warboys, Cambridgeshire, UK
There are a lot of good things that came out of the Covid lockdown. Many folks had a chance to do things they had never had time for before. Keith, for example, was undeterred by the virus. He took the time he had at home as an opportunity to learn a new skill and now, sure enough, he is a cheesemaker. Keith’s Story I am
Deb Pero in New Boston, Texas
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!
Paulette Walker in Cincinnati, Ohio
When I first contacted Paulette about doing this interview she was reluctant. She wrote “I don’t know if you would find me nearly as interesting as the other people you interview. I’m always in awe of the folks you feature.” Then she started sending me pictures of her cheese and I knew she was about as interesting as it gets! See what you think …
Chris Harris in Springfield, Belize
In 2013, I had the opportunity to spend 5 days in Belize at Ian Anderson’s Cave Branch Adventure Co. and Jungle Lodge. Ian was hosting a cheesemaking workshop taught by Linda and Larry Faillace of Three Shepherd’s Cheese in Warren, Vermont. It was surreal to be in the jungle of Belize taking a 3 day workshop taught by Vermont cheesemakers. I wrote a 4 part
