The Home Creamery: Home Cheese Making 101, with Linda Conroy

Join home cheese maker and traditional food aficionado Linda Conroy for this fun class. We will begin the day making cultured milk and cream products including kefir, yogurt, and piima (a Scandinavian cultured cream). We will then transform these into fresh cheeses, like paneer cheese, feta, and mozzarella. Everyone will take home cultures, cheese, rennet, and recipes. The class includes a lunch full of delicious homemade cheese. Date: Saturday, November 28, 2026 Time: 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM Lunch will be provided.
