Join rancher Megan LaPointe for a ricotta and mozzarella cheesemaking workshop in Bowie on Sunday, September 29, 2024. Megan has been one of DFW’s most popular market vendors, and is known for her regenerative methods and high-quality meat, dairy and eggs.
There are only 6 spots available in this 3-hour workshop, which will teach you how to make these soft cheeses at home, include samples for you to try, and give you a chance to meet the dairy herd. Seats tend to sell out quickly.
The class uses raw milk from the farm’s cows, as sold from point of production under Texas law.
This hands-on experience is for ages 12 and up and ideal for homesteaders learning how to make cheese at home, or adventuresome foodies seeking the story and process behind local food. It is also appropriate for families looking to make memories together, or anyone curious about the people and animals who make your favorite fromage.
The experience starts at 2:00 pm with an overview of cheesemaking and the required equipment and supplies. Participants will then walk through the go through a step by step process of making the cheese by hand from scratch. By the end of the class you will have fresh mozzarrella and ricotta under the direction of a master cheesemaker with opportunities for hands-on work by the class.
The class aims to prepare you to make cheeses at your home, so bring a notebook and take notes as the class proceeds. An optional take-home kit is also available with the basics to get you started making cheese at home.
After the class, you will have a chance to meet the dairy animals in person and hear more about their lives on the farm. Come prepared for outdoor weather and walking if you wish to join this portion of the class.
