Admittedly we are a long way from seeing raw milk on the shelves of grocery chains and box stores.
Thankfully that isn’t stopping Mark McAfee from navigating to his true North.
Give this passionate guy a listen and I guarantee if, God forbid, you or a loved one runs into a diagnosis that the MD’s don’t have figured out you’ll think of Organic Pastures Dairy.
We are fortunate that he and his kind are here with the wisdom, COURAGE and ability to shepherd us into a new paradigm.
Oh yeah, and his chocolate colostrum rocks.
This is a cutting from my time with him that stands up just fine on it’s own.

I know vegans don't eat any animal products, but horizon organic cheese its made without use organic-approved microbial enzymes rather than rennet to form curds. Now I don't know if they treat their cows right but I am guessing they do. If so would it be vegan?

It's made with milk, from what I understand from veganism "no animal by-products" would include by-products from well treated animals.

There are loads of places to do wine tasting days, what about cheese tasting?

They do exist, not sure where, but why not organise your own ? Invite people to bring their 2 or 3 favourite cheeses, provide a few of your own, plus a large cheese board, some grapes, celery, crackers, bread and maybe a little wine…you could have a rating system to find the most popular

I would like to try the other soy cheeses, but I don't want to waste my money on anything that is likely to taste disgusting. I know soy cheese comes in many flavors (American, mozzarella, etc.)

Soymage Parmesan is the best…it's hard to tell the difference and a little bit goes a long way. I love it on a cheeseless pizza. Road's End Mac and ChReese is awesome too if you're in the mood for some good ol' kraft dinner-style macaroni and cheese.

Its so easy and actually good.
Try it, love it.

No, sorry. Cheese making is not an 'easy' hobby.
You'll need gallons of milk, plenty of time and equipment.
I'm sure if you Google it you'll find lots of suggestions.

I am having a get together at work for colleagues doing a training qualification. Cheese and wine thoughts seemed appropriate. But what items should I invite people to bring along. As a start just something straightforward. Thanks

hmm cheese and wine

I am having a wine tasting party at my house for my birthday. What are good suggestions of cheese types that I should definitely serve? Any cracker type suggestions, too? Thanks.

Try to provide a good variety of cheeses – at least three;

one hard eg aged or smoked cheddar, aged Emmental, pecorino, good Parmesan

one soft, eg, brie or camembert, very young, fresh curd cheese, almost like thick cream

one strong, eg blue, washed rind (those really stinky, strong orange rind ones)

Also try to mix up your types of cheese, eg one cow’s milk, one sheep’s milk, one goat’s milk.

Offer a few diffferent cracker types - water crackers, oatmeal biscuits, toasted walnut bread, rye crackers like Ryvita, crusty bread.

Add a few dried and fresh fruits to the plate - sliced apple or pear, muscatels on the stem, dates, dried or fresh figs etc.

Ideally, try to purchase your cheese from a deli, and taste before you buy. If you are buying supermarket cheeses, buy them a week or two in advance and leave them wrapped in the fridge. Cheeses are often sold under-ripe and this will bring them to the point where their flavour is ideal. Otherwise buy ‘reduced’ cheeses that are nearing their use-by dates.

Ensure cheeses are always served at room temperature. Leave them out for at least 2 hours before serving.

Don’t just think that heavy red wine matches cheese, some of the best cheeses marry really well with light, slightly sweet white wines such as Riesling.
