133. Should Everyone Try Making Cheese at Home? | Robyn Jackson of Cheese From Scratch | Homestead Cheesemaking


Listen Later

If you have ever thought of making cheese at home but have been overwhelmed at the idea, this episode is for you!  Robyn of Cheese From Scratch joins me to talk all things cheesemaking.  Robyn’s desire is to make this skill accessible to everyone.  We talk about how cheesemaking can become a normal part of your everyday routine, just like any other skill on the homestead.  A common misconception is that cheesemaking is just for those who own a dairy animal, but this isn’t true!  Anyone can learn to make cheese from scratch.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The distinction between homestead and professional cheesemaking
  • How to decide what type of cheese to make
  • Addressing some common fears about the safety of making cheese at home
  • The easiest cheeses to start with
  • How cheesemaking mimics what happens naturally in a calf’s stomach
  • Which supplies you need to buy and which supplies you can DIY
  • Surprising ways to repurpose all of the leftover whey
  • The secret to incorporating cheesemaking into your everyday life
  • Thank you to our sponsor!  Redmond Real Salt brings you salt exactly as nature created it – unrefined, ancient sea salt with a complete blend of minerals and a subtle, sweet flavor unlike any salt on earth.  Redmond Real Salt is offering my listeners 15% off your first purchase with the code FARMHOUSE.  Visit bit.ly/redmondfarmhouse to order today.
