Come join the fun at Old Windmill Dairy and learn how to make great cheese. Before you get started there are a few things you should know. 

• Faucets have extremely hot water -140 F degrees. Please turn on the cold water when using hot water. The hot water is required to sanitize equipment.
• Bringing a change of clothes is optional, but necessary if we take you into the kitchen.
• Bring clothes that you do not mind getting dirty or even torn as this is a working farm. Sometimes the goats like to nibble on jackets.
• Hand washing is essential while working with cheese and working on the farm.
• When you arrive you are expected to wash your hand prior to petting the goats and before leaving the farm.
• Please let us know if you have been visiting other farms or animals. We have a special cleanser for shoes to reduce bacteria and viral transmission.
• Goats and other animals are susceptible to various viruses and bacteria and can become sick. To reduce this risk we all must wash our hands and shoes.
• We must wear rubber gloves before handling the cheese and a hair net or ball cap.
• The OWD is a non smoking environment. Please do not smoke while on the farm.
• We use stainless steel heavy equipment. This equipment can be very heavy and dangerous to work around.
• Due to production the type of cheese made during each class may be changed. 
• In each class we will start from the beginning and discuss; culture, renneting, lactic acid cheeses, clean brake, curding, draining whey and salting techniques.
• Please bring a cooler for your cheese purchases.
• Please do not bring your pets as our working dogs perceive pets as a threat to the animals on the farm.
