Check out our website!The curriculum is designed to cover a wide range of topics including the basics of cheese science and milk microbes, using natural starters, and making fresh and ripened cheeses. In addition to theoretical instruction, the workshop prioritizes sensory engagement, allowing students to fully immerse themselves in the cheese-making process. By seeing, smelling, touching, and tasting their creations, participants develop a nuanced understanding of microbial interactions and fermentation dynamics. Throughout the workshop, emphasis will be placed on resourcefulness, with discussions on common tools, DIY equipment, and natural materials for cheese shaping and storage. Whether you're a novice enthusiast or an experienced cheese aficionado, this workshop offers an enriching educational experience that will inspire creativity in cheese making.
This workshop will be held at Polk’s Folly Farm in San Antonito, NM. Your registration includes delicious locally-sourced lunches for all days of the workshop and everyone is invited to potluck-style dinners on the farm.
If you need lodging, some on-site options (both camping & private rooms) are available and breakfast will be included. If you are interested in either of these options, we will provide more information and connect you with our hosts at Polk's Folly Farm. Camping on-site is free of charge.
