Heart to Hearth Cookery

Dairying in Fredericksburg

I had a wonderful experience in Fredericksburg at the first annual Family Table Festival!  Here I am pictured holding a linen cheese cloth that is hiding my cheese basket underneath.  The whey drained into my kettle and I will tie the cloth for more whey to drain from the fresh cheese.  Just above the brick wall, you can see my rennet stomach that I processed this year for my cheesemaking.  And underneath my saltbox on the second shelf you see just a little of the tansy on the linen cheesecloth covering my five and eight gallon cheeses.
