The Dairy Masterclass:
A "Cow-to-Creamery"
Intensive 🐄🧀🥛

​

Go beyond the grocery store and master the complete dairy cycle in a single, immersive day!

​

Have you ever dreamed of waking up with the sun, milking your own cow, and sitting down to a dinner made with your own butter and cheese? This is our most comprehensive training yet. Join me at Everything Homemade for an All-Day (10-Hour) Private Intensive that takes you through every single step of the family milk cow lifestyle.

​

From 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, you won’t just be watching—you’ll be living the life of a dairy homesteader. We start in the barn and end in the kitchen, giving you the skills to be entirely self-sufficient with your dairy needs.

The Itinerary of Your Day:

• The Dawn Milking (6:00 AM): We start in the quiet of the morning. You’ll learn cow handling, udder health, and the meditative art of hand-milking your first gallon of liquid gold.

• Barn Management & Care: Learn about stall hygiene, morning feeding routines, and how to keep a dairy cow thriving through Northern winters.

• From Pail to Pitcher: Head into the milk house to learn proper filtration, rapid cooling, and the essential "Clean-In-Place" (CIP) procedures for your equipment.

• The Creamery Skills (The morning/afternoon): Once the milk is settled, the magic happens in the kitchen. We will spend the morning and afternoon turning our harvest into:

  • Homemade Butter: From cream separation to the final "wash."

  • Greek Yogurt: Mastering the cultures and temperatures.

  • Cheddar Cheese: Learn how to make a delicious block of cheese

• The "Whole System" Consultation: Between batches, we’ll discuss sourcing your own cow, fencing, breeding for milk, and managing the "calf-at-side" system.
