Soap Making and Cheese Making Classes

At Stony Knolls Farm

Classes will be scheduled for sometime in October and November. 

We start off the day making chevre, a mild, soft goat cheese. 

Once the curds are set, we pour them in cheese cloth and let them drain.

All done and ready to mix some yummy herbs into.

Of course, making some great mozzarella is also in order! 

Nothing like great mozzarella on pizza, lasagna, fresh tomatoes, etc......

The last order of the day was some feta!

Getting ready to hang the curds.

Sliced and salted and ready to sit for a few days to ripen.

              

Making soap is such great fun!

Everyone gets into the act!  Here Jon is slowly and carefully stirring fat into the lye mixture.

John made us all laugh when he turned a soft bar shaped soap into a nice round ball.

John's finished product!

Carefully pouring the finished product into molds.

Just a tad of trimming and soap is ready to age for six to eight weeks.

 

A very special thank you to Kelly and Alex for taking all these great photos!
