Greetings! I am a 42 year old cheesemaker who is learning and writing about cheeses, dairying, and the lives of shepherds in various parts of the world.
You can learn about my project on Instagram and Substack, @milk_trekker, and I have website for my mobile cheese workshops, called Sour Milk School.
I grew up in Washington state where I began cooking in restaurants. I have spent the last decade working on farmstead cheese making operations around the US and traveling abroad exploring culture by cooking and eating. I have participated in work trades in Hawaii, Malaysia, Indonesia, Ecuador, Tibet, Italy, Austria, Spain, and California.
I feel that I would be a general asset to you for the following reasons:
- I can take care of a kitchen, planning meals for myself or a group, working with what is available and keeping communal spaces clean.
- I am early rising, dependable, hardworking and can stay in one place where there is little excitment for an extended period of time.
- I'm great with animals including humans, and have worked extensively with cows, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, and turkeys. I love dogs, cats, kids, and old people.
- I have began traveling with the purpose of exploring cheesemaking, and learning about grazing, milking, and cheese as an aspect of diversified farming.
- I am also prepared to teach what I know and assist cheesemakers and dairy people interested in making cheese, especially by natural methods.Centres d’intérêt
