It seems that everyone who read Barbara Kingsolver's memoir Animal, Vegetable, Miracle this summer has been bitten by the cheesemaking bug. I have to admit that I had an itch in that direction when I finished her book (I've been intrigued by making cheese at home since reading the Little House on the Prairie books when I was a kid). However, I've only ever pondered the possibility, over at A Chicken in Every Granny Cart, they didn't just think about it, they took action and whipped up not one type of cheese but two. And they have plans for more. I am inspired.

Hi Marissa! I hope you try it, it's incredibly easy. We just finished up a batch of goat cheese feta and some fresh chevre. A little labor intensive, to be sure, but they're so tasty, and it gives you such a feeling of accomplishment that I think it's totally worth it. Feel free to email me if you have any questions!
