Watch How Cheese Is Made On A Real Dairy Farm

Me trying to feed a baby cow.

I know milk comes from cows and cheese comes from milk…but that’s where my knowledge of all things dairy comes to an end. Sure, I could ask the Google machine more about the process, but how much more fun would it be to just go to a dairy farm and find out for myself?

The folks at Red Head Creamery, a young 20-something couple highlighted by Alise’s red hair (hehe, highlights) and hubby Lucas, were kind enough to take the day and show me around. Here’s what they look like just as a point of reference. It’s fair to note how impressive it is that such a young couple is running their own cheese making operation:

Making our way through the farm, we spent the day learning the elementary facets of cow life, procreation, cow milking and cheese making. Amidst trying to feed a newborn calf, the journey was fruitful and I walked away with more knowledge than I had before.
