Cheese in a Day
Dates: Sunday 27 June, 2010
Venue: Suffolk Farmhouse Cheese, Whitehouse Farm, Creeting St Mary, Suffolk
Spend the day with dairy farmers and artisan cheesemakers,Katharine & Jason Salisbury of Suffolk
Farmhouse Cheese.
Visit the farm home to their pedigree Guernsey herd, as well as beef cattle, hens and pigs. We'll take a behind the scenes tour of their brand new state-of-the-art diary and watch Katherine demonstrate the cheese-making process. Your senses will run wild when you enter the store room! There'll be a chance to make a simple curd cheese by hand for you to take home at the end of the day.
Jason will give you a tour of the farm and you'll be able to get up close to the beautiful and gentle Guernseys and hear how the farm produces all its own feed. You'll also hear how the unwanted whey is fed to the pigs so there is very little waste on the farm.
To make a truly memorable end to the day, we'll have the chance to watch Jason milking the cows and for those who would like you'll be able to get really hands-on doing a spot of milking yourself!
You'll leave the day with an insight into cheese-making and an understanding of the connection between farmer and cheese-maker.
