Do you want a job in cheesemaking?  Do you want to learn all about farmstead cheesemaking and goat dairy operations?  We are seeking a cheese room intern to assist in our farmstead cheesemaking.

We are farmstead goat cheese makers based in Cornwall, NY.  We have a micro-dairy and creamery, milk 45 Nubian and Alpine goats and make nine varieties of goat milk cheeses.  We sell at ten farmer's markets and over twenty restaurants in the Hudson Valley.  We are in the beginning of our second year of production.  We focus on making our aged cheeses in the late winter and turn to our fresh cheeses when the farmer's markets start in June through October.  Check us out at https://www.facebook.com/edgwickfarm
