I just finished the last cheese getting ready for Saturday’s first cheese class of the year. (The 3rd one is filling fast. I think we only have 3 spots left). I make all the cheeses in various stages so the people coming can see it all and then they make all new cheeses. They get to take home all kinds of cheeses with their new-found knowledge.
The Feta is soaking in the salt to help it lose all it’s whey and the Panir is chilling in the fridge. I did put the Chevre or Fromage Blanc in the freezer so it would stay nice and fresh.
Spring is here . . . or so it seems today. The crocus and daffodils are blooming and we are getting seed to sow the pastures with goat and bee friendly grasses and clovers.
It’s always busy here . . . I have to go and make some replacement goat milk soaps . . . I’m out of a lot of the favorite kinds.
The chickens are loose and rooting thru all the lavender, bee balm, garlic and assorted herbs looking for bugs – I just wish they wouldn’t spread the mulch over every inch of sidewalk.
Well, I need to get to the weeding of the front bed – the lemon balm, oregano and St. John’s Wort really need my attention . . . I guess while I’m there I can check the strawberries and asparagus . . . I can’t wait to eat well with all the fresh bounty and blessings around here.
Come and visit . . . the babies need lots of handling to stay sweet and friendly.
Blessings! The Goat woman
