7/18 Chèvre: Make Your Own Traditional Goat's Milk Cheese

$100.00

Saturday, July 18, 2026
10am- Noon

Join us for a hands-on introduction to fresh cheesemaking, where you'll learn to make goat’s milk chèvre using simple ingredients and traditional techniques. Together we'll walk through the process from start to finish, exploring what makes goat's milk cheese so uniquely delicious and approachable for home cheesemakers.

Each student will make two cheeses — a classic chèvre and a second variation of your choice (either sweet or savory to suit your own taste). You'll also learn how to wrap and present your finished cheeses for storage or gifting.

You'll leave with two finished cheeses, the knowledge to keep making chèvre at home, and plenty of ideas for how to enjoy and share them.

All levels welcome. All materials provided.

Tuition: $80 | Materials: $20
