Hi
I recently found Adam's restaurant equipment in Norwich, CT which sells all the item from cheesemaking.com at the same price and even lower. They also carry all the cultures.
Adam's restaurant equipment
727 Boswell Avenue
Norwich, CT 06360
Buying from cheesemaking.com or thecheesemaker is nice because with the cheapest shipping I get my stuff in 2-3 days.
For the milk, cow: pandora's box, goat: beltane farm. They sell raw and pasteurized
Pandora's Box
209 West Thames Street
Norwich, CT 06360-6838
(860) 887-4501
Beltane farm
59 Taylor Bridge Road
Lebanon, CT 06249-2426
(860) 887-4709
For goat milk it's 8$/quart pasterurized and 10$/quart raw. Paul is very nice and also makes cheeses (log and chevre). They have a tasting every sunday between 11 and 3PM
For the cheese cloth: Jo Ann craft store, 36"x6yds for 6 bucks
For the plastic box for ripening my cheeses: family dollar
For the sushi mat: 3 bucks at New asia market, 646 Long Hill Rd, Groton, CT 06340. I know thay are sold at 1 doll in canada but can't find them cheaper here
Hope this post will help. Please add any other good place in the area or in CT
