Jersey cream is unbeatable and everybody but me (and maybe Mathilde) seem to be doing fine with cow's milk. And goat milk in coffee is a no-no... The farm we visited has not goats for sale unfortunately, but we are looking around. We are still unsure of what we want. We need to read more before making a decision (breed, horns, how many). Goat cheese is quite expensive here too, Pennie and I can't wait to experiment with it!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513911177615259519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8589290063273869746.post-55801850095498017912010-01-20T23:37:25.451-05:002010-01-20T23:37:25.451-05:00we are thinking of adding a milking goat into our ...we are thinking of adding a milking goat into our family as well. i am a bit nervous about the commitment (milking and traveling don't work out! but we have friends nearby!). i have wanted to make my own goat cheese because i could eat it everyday and it is rather expensive around here. are you getting rid of your cow?! i am planning on taking my boys to a goat farm this spring to check out their operations! (there are actually two within 15-20 minutes of our house!) one raises nigerian dwarfs and i am not sure about the other place! anyway...keep us posted! xo, pennieleaningapplemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505863275649293080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8589290063273869746.post-58625173376007927372010-01-20T22:56:17.271-05:002010-01-20T22:56:17.271-05:00Oh I love this goat post today Catherine!

JF puts the cheese in its mold and then puts the full saucepan of whey on top of it (the whole thing sits inside a big bin).

Not...Elke, I make our butter in a food processor... Not very Waldorf I know, but sometimes, for small amount (and when I have very thick Jersey cream), we shake it in a jar (I put a marble in it once, but when DH shook it too hard, the Mason jar broke...). When I do it in the processor, the girls help with the washing (with a spatula or their hands). The butter needs to be wash thoroughly (the water needs to run clear) or it will spoil very fast. You could make butter with very fat goat milk (Nubian or LaManchas), but you would need a cream separator which is quite expensive. Ewe's milk makes amazing butter. It is so fat! Here's a great link to some dairy info: http://fiascofarm.com/dairy/<br />and here's one for cheesemaking: http://www.cheesemaking.com<br />I have heard this book is very good: http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/1603420312/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB<br />There is also some great info in John Seymour's book The self-sufficient life<br /><br />Csil, oui, j'ai vu le lien sur ton blog et ça m'a fait pensé...

We have a local lady here in the mountains that has fresh goats milk that we are going to collect to make some goats cheese, I have been building our supplies of what we need for cheese making, just need to get daddy to build a cheese press! I have been inspired by your pics and words on making cheese and butter. Can you share some info/links with me. I think next week we will try to make butter with the technique described in the Earthways book - how do you make your butter, do you have a proper churn? Does butter with goats milk work? I would love to do that if it does. Today is millet day, so I am here to write down your millet bake recipe - thank you! :)indigomummahttp://www.wherewildstrawberriesgrow.comnoreply@blogger.com
