Making Cheese at Greystones Farm

Back at the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust reserve at Greystones Farm, Bourton-on-the-Water today to pick up my cheese.  I went on a cheese-making course last week with Simon Weaver Cotswold Organic Dairy.  The course was a pilot for a series of courses to be run at the farm starting sometime in August, and it was really great.  Learned so much about about different types of cheese and how to make them, and now I have a big Tomme de Savoie maturing in the kitchen, ready to eat in about a month.  There's not many places where you can see the cows, visit the wildflower meadows that feed them, watch the milking and then make cheese from the fresh milk.  Big thanks to Roger Crudge, the Simon Weaver Dairy team and GWT for a fantastic day.
