The Chemistry Behind Making Cheese Safely
A distance learning opportunity offered at several sites across
NYS.
This workshop is to help the producer understand the process of
cheese making. With this knowledge the producer can prevent costly
mistakes and also learn the areas of the process they can manipulate
to develop their own style of cheese. Dave Brown, veteran Food Scientist/Extension
with Cornell University, will give the main presentation. We will
also have site inspectors with the Sate Ag& Markets program
to answer questions about the buildings and equipment which are
required for farmstead cheese production.
For complete workshop details, site locations and registration see

ORGANIC DAIRY MANAGING FOR SUCCESS
These two-day Organic Dairy Farm Management Workshops will help organic
dairy farm families to sharpen their management skills this winter.
Participants will establish their core values and goals, set plans
to achieve their goals, and manage their farms holistically, to
the benefit of their families, their animals, the environment, and
future generations.
Workshops will help farm families answer these four basic questions:
1. Where do you want to go? Create your own holistic goal for enhancing
sustainability, paying off debt, bringing in the next generation,
and/or retiring.
2. What are the resources you can use to get there? Assess your
current management abilities, employee abilities, soils and pastures,
buildings and facilities, cows, crops, products and markets.
3. What is the route you will take to arrive at that point? Learn
how to set appropriate long term and short term goals, identify
the root causes of problems, make sound decisions, and take action.
4. How to use records to keep track of your journey to be sure
you are on the right route? Improve your management of financial
records and production records, and learn how to monitor personal,
family and employee satisfaction.
This meeting is co-sponsored by the New York Farm Viability Institute,
The Cornell Small Farms Program and Graze-NY.
