How To Become a Cheesemaker: Leave Your Job
The Wall Street Journal had an interesting article recently titled “Cheese Whizzes” on the growing popularity of cheesemaking. Many professionals and retirees are taking up this fascinating handcrafted practice full-time.”
“Ms. Hanley and her husband, Leo Brooks, got into the cheese business after they moved to Westport Point, Mass., an old whaling village, in 1995. They were alarmed that local dairy farmers were struggling with low milk prices and selling their land to developers. To preserve the rural landscape, Ms. Hanley worked with one nearby dairy farmer, Karl Santos, and his three brothers, to convert some milk production to making cheese, which pays significantly better than fluid milk.”
