After seeing the farm's cheese being made yesterday, we learned how to make our own cheese.
First you heat raw milk and then you add an enzyme from a calf's stomach and it separates the milk into curds and whey. The enzyme is also what adds flavor later on. Then you cut the curds and press the mixture to separate them. This is what David is doing in the picture. It doesn't really look like or taste like the cheese we eat yet, because it hasn't been aged.

The cows eat so much hay we had to get some more from the hay loft above the milking cows.

After working all week, we played a Jeopardy game to review all of the things we'd learned.
