Learn how to make yogurt, kefir, and butter at home in this hands-on dairy workshop in Bowie on Sunday, December 1. Rancher Megan LaPointe has been one of DFW’s most popular market vendors and is a master cheesemaker, and she is known for her regenerative methods and high-quality meat, dairy and eggs.

There are only 6 spots available in this three-hour workshop, which will touch on a variety of homemade dairy products, and include samples for you to try. You can also add on a kit to get started making yogurt, kefir, and butter at home.

Seats tend to fill quickly. The class uses raw milk from the farm’s cows, as sold from point of production under Texas law.

Make Yogurt, Kefir, and Butter in Hands-On Workshop

This hands-on experience is for ages 12 and up and ideal for aspiring homesteaders and adventuresome foodies seeking the story and process behind local food. It is also appropriate for families looking to make memories together, farmers learning about small-scale production, or anyone curious about the people and animals who make your favorite diary.

You’ll review two approaches to making yogurt, including continual culturing and beginning with a new starter, and discuss the pros and cons of each.

You’ll also learn more about kefir, a fermented drink made with milk and kefir grains, and talk about the history and use of kefir. Then Megan will walk you through the process of making this probiotic powerhouse.

Finally, Megan will teach you how to turn heavy cream into rich, delicious butter right in your own kitchen.

She’ll share tips from her decades of experience with each recipe, and discuss food safety, and how to source milk for your own use.
