Whey hey hey!!

So you love to make cheese but can't think of what to do with all that whey?

Please join us at this very fun, informative and whey cool (sorry to be so cheesy!) workshop.

This is an opportunity to learn but also to share. 

Please feel free to bring along your samples, experiments, failure stories, innovations and ideas. 

Cheesemaking workshop wrap up

A HUGE cheesy thank you to Kirsten, Nikki + Rosie for so generously sharing their knowledge, time + cheese with us. Thank you to Alison for the scrumptious bread, to Alex and Mara for welcoming everyone who came along on the day, and again to Mara, for taking these photos that so beautifully preserve the nourishing spirit of the day.

Natural cheesemaking workshop

For the last few months we have been planning to run a cheesemaking workshop. Finally the weather has improved and the local cows are happily producing again.

Pls join us for this very exciting learning and tasting opportunity. We have three very talented cheesemakers joining us to share a little of their knowledge: Kirsten Bradley, Nikki Marshall + Rosie Laszlo.

A note about the $5 entry free:
As you know, HRN is a volunteer run, non-membership, non-meeting, not for monetary profit, everybody welcome community group. We are lucky enough to be auspised by the kind folk at SHARE, which means we are able to run events and have our insurance taken care of. But this insurance costs money.

So to ensure we are able to continue to run our events for free or gold coin donation, we are charging a $5 fee for this event to cover our half of the yearly insurance fee. Thank you for your understanding.

See you next month! No need to book, just rock along.

An evening with David Asher

Culture Club is having a break from its usual first Saturday of the month time slot for the month of April. We are most thrilled to share the news that David Asher will be joining us for an evening of talking about and sampling, if we're lucky, natural cheeses.

For those of you who don't know, David Asher is an organic farmer, goatherd, and farmstead cheesemaker, who lives on the gulf islands of British Columbia. His Black Sheep School of Cheesemaking offers cheesemaking workshops in partnership with food-sovereignty-minded organisations and communities. His workshops teach a cheesemaking method that is natural, DIY, and well suited to any home kitchen. He has been teaching cheesemaking for over seven years.

David will be in Daylesford for a number of workshops. We feel very lucky that he has offered to come and talk with us. We hope you will join us for a wonderfully delicious evening.
