Farm Schools Ideal For Cheesemaking Classes and Trips
Sunday, January 31st, 2010
Though we live on the opposite coast, we love the articles, designs and recipes in Sunset, a magazine dedicated to living in the West.
One of Sunset’s predictions for 2010 is the increasing popularity of farm schools. Rather than going to culinary school to learn things like cheesemaking, many farms and dairies are offering cheesemaking courses to beginners and advanced cheesemakers. Some farms even offer accomodations at the farm for the full experience. In addition to milking and making cheese, farm schools offer the chance to forage, learn butchering and enjoy beautiful scenery.
The piece mentions farm schools Quillisascut Farm School of the Domestic
Arts in Rice, Washington, MaryJanesFarm in Moscow, Idaho and Fairburn Farm Culinary Retreat and Guest House on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
