This week, we are talking about on-farm milk testing! It is so important to understand raw milk and the biology surrounding it to be sure you are consuming a safe product. The only way to do that is through testing, but the expense of lab tests add up. Not to mention the recent hassles with shipping and such. Having the means and knowledge to test your own milk on your own farm is such an amazing tool to have in your toolbox. We will be going through the entire routine.

Episode Ten of the Ground Shots Podcast. Episode ten is part field recording, part interview done while walking with Adam Stolte and his goat herd (plus the pig Ragnar) this past September in Hood River, Oregon. On our evening walk through Douglas Fir groves, Scotch Broom died back and Hazelnut, we discuss a number of topics related to goats, pastoralism, public lands, nomadism, connecting to the land through animals, plants that goats love to forage in this specific region, writers and activists that discuss goat herding and more. Listen for a humorous, thoughtful and not so linear conversation on Adam's fresh relationship with goats, a life tuned into the land, even a goat milking session in the mix. ******************** Adam on Instagram: @adamstolte Books mentioned by Adam in the interview: 'Goatwalking: A Guide to Wildland Living', by Jim Corbett 'Don Quixote' by Miguel de Cervantes 'Holistic Goat Care', by Gianaclis Caldwell 'Goat Husbandry', by David Mackenzie 'The Complete Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable', by Juliette de Bairacli Levy 'Long Life Honey In The Heart', by Martìn Prechtel Fibershed California ************************** Support the podcast on Patreon Visit our website Of Sedge and Salt Our Instagram page @goldenberries Join the Ground Shots Podcast Facebook Group to discuss the episodes Subscribe to our newsletter for updates on the Ground Shots Project Theme music: Mother Marrow Produced by: Opia Creative

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast Gianaclis Caldwell is the author of a modern classic on cheese production, Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking from Chelsea Green Publishing, and her new book to help get anyone started, Mastering Basic Cheesemaking from New Society Publishers. These books and her expertise form the basis for our conversation today about animal cheeses, whether you start with goat, sheep, or cow milk. I dive in with all my questions about starting supplies; expected yields; soft versus hard cheeses; the different types of cheese; and an exploration of rennet, including three types to look for and one to avoid. As Gianaclis joined me previously for Episode 1724 - Holistic Goat Care, we begin with a brief overview of her background and then get cheesy. Find out more about her and her books at gianacliscaldwell.com. -- As you heard during this conversation, I'm really inspired by people like Gianaclis that take these ideas that at first seem so complex, and break down the mystery into easy steps we can follow. Sure, we might make mistakes or have some failures, but we can take what we learn and try again. Using what she shares with us, we can start with a $4 gallon of store bought commercial cow milk and make our first pound of cheese. If we want, then we can seek out grass-fed organic or raw milk, try sheep or goat milk, and see how that changes what we get. But if we don't want to, we never have to. We can keep using that same grocery store jug while still getting something better than store bought. Though I haven't made my own cheese yet, as my children look at me with that “Dad? Really?” look every time I bring it up, I feel comfortable and confident that when we do get to it, we'll wind up with not only some great cheese but also a fond memory. Those experiences are the ones we need to create the world we want to live in, and so I encourage each of you to keep playing, in the kitchen, in the garden, field, and forest, to find those moments that speak to you, add to your set of skills, and help you to be who you are called to. If there is any way I can help you on that journey, get in touch. The Permaculture Podcast The Permaculture Podcast. Also, during this conversation, I mentioned making a yogurt fermented soda. I was inspired to do that based on a recipe in Rachel Kaplan's Urban Homesteading, which you'll find at urban-homesteading.org.

Learn more about the scale at Pholia Farm, as well as the types of cheeses that the farm produces. This program has been sponsored by S.
