I just discovered that Sprout Creek Farm in Poughkeepsie offers cheesemaking workshops on Saturdays for individuals or groups.

The workshop includes a farm tour, a comprehensive lesson on the art and science of cheesemaking with Colin McGrath, and a tasting of at least a dozen cheeses.

Workshop hours are generally from 9AM to 1PM depending on the cheeses being made that day.

I don't have information on what this costs, but I wanted to see if there was interest to have an HVFN group outing. We could be flexible about the Saturday to accommodate the most people.

Respond to this discussion if you're interested!

For me, a weekday activity is a challenge, but with some notice I can possibly move my work schedule to accommodate the weekday intensive course.
I would not have any interest in the shorter course. My interest was in the cheese making process itself.
I'd be interested in the longer intensive course but weekdays are a challenge for me.
Mark and I are interested in the intensive - weekdays are tough, but we should be able to work it out as long as it isn't the last week of the month ....
would love to join the group if scheduling permits!
Weds-Thurs-Fri the last two weeks of Oct are good for me--I'd like to do the weekday intensive session. Weekends are bad, but if I'm the only weekend-worker, then maybe some of you can teach me what you learn another time!

I would like to do a weekday intensive - only caveat would need to fit it in in the hours kids are in school- 10-2 or so
Hi, Just seeing this and yes I would be interested in a weekday intensive. Cathy
So it seems like the right number of people can do a weekday. How about Friday the 29th? Does that give enough notice to people who need to move workdays around? I don't get my November schedule until 20Oct, so I won't know until then when I'm available for Nov.

Hope everyone is well,

--Matt
It seems the cheesemaker isn't an email guy... I haven't heard back. So I will call tomorrow and see what he says.
Weekday thing takes me out...maybe next time.
