On Friday, we had a visit from Farmer Cathy from Hillside Creamery. Cathy taught us about cows, how much they eat and drink in a day, how much milk they produce and what that milk can be used for. We learned about curds and whey, did some nursery rhymes and learned how to make cheese and also tasted some delicious fresh maple milk. The maple milk was a hit, and everyone wanted seconds! We separated the curds from the whey to make ricotta cheese which we then tasted, and it was so yummy! We also learned how to make cream cheese from scratch which we will be doing together as a school next week.
We are excited to work with Cathy again!
