i love this thread. i have wanted to try cheese making for years. i really like the idea and would love to give it a try. we have a couple of months left of winter here (and i don't think we've seen the worst yet). so maybe i'll use this time to get my supplies together. you guys! so many great...
i'm on my way to visit your new thread. thanks for the tag. btw, your location shows ireland. may i ask where abouts? my darling wife likes to brag that she is 100% irish: all 8 'grands'.

hello, hello. i took a quick peek at your site. we've been known to travel quite a ways for fresh eggs and real raw honey. we hale from the philly area. is the honey from your bees?
