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
Haleem Moussa’s Shanklish Cheese
Haleem grew up in a small farm in northern Lebanon. As a child, he used to watch his Grand Ma as she milked their cow and made yogurt, butter, buttermilk and shanklish. He had three brothers and four sisters who now live all over the world- in Sweden, Mexico and the US. He himself came to to the US in 1962 to finish his education
Aline LaForge in Applegate, Oregon

Marybeth Bullington in Creswell, Oregon
Marybeth contacted us recently to suggest that we interview a friend of hers who is a great cheese maker.

Alan gave us this fascinating story about his boss,
Jim Harrington in Theodosia, Missouri
Jim and his wife, Josie have a Youtube channel with a name we think is irresistible (at least to us New Englanders) – Ozark Mountain Goats. They live on a small farm in southern Missouri, on the border with Arkansas. They have made 183 videos so far about a wide range of topics – Homestead Gardening, Raising Chickens, Freezing, Dehydrating & Fermenting Foods, Water Bath
Becky Collins Brooks in Accord, NY
Becky and her husband, Barton raise Wagyu cattle at their beautiful farm in the Catskills. Wagyu beef (that outrageously expensive beef you can find on the menus of very fine restaurants) is so delicious, it commands up to $200/pound in Japan(!) We can only imagine how wonderful it is for them to be able to eat it any time. They sell their beef at the
