Hello from Western WA state
« on: July 30, 2010, 08:36:23 AM »
I'm Rikke, one of the owners of the FoxDog Farm microfarm.  We run a CSA and raise milk goats (Nigerian Dwarves).  I've been making cheese for about 8 years now, and hope to move into commercial production some time in the future.  First though, going to get my dairy a Grade A status so I can sell raw milk.

I reliably make really good chevre, feta, parmesan, romano, jack, blue, cheddar, and more.  I think I've mastered the basics and understand a lot about cheesemaking.  I teach classes on basic cheesemaking, and on cheesemaking through history.  However, I really want to learn more about the science of cheesemaking.  I also am interested in making some of the more obscure cheeses and learning how to use natural rinds.  Anyway, I'm really looking forward to delving into this forum!
