Why I have my own chickens and a Jersey milk cow.
Mmmmmm.. A Jersey. How much does she produce a day?
Nothing yet, impregnated the cow last week. She should produce more

than I can drink. Will learn to make my own cheese products with the
extra. The cheese making equipment is not cheap. I read, not done it
yet, it takes 17 pounds of milk and one year to make one pound of
parmesan cheese.


sterilized buckets, cheese-cloth and a culture of some kind.
none of these are majorly expensive. some heat source during
the cooler months if your place of production is not insulated
well... the most expensive part is the time it takes to finish or age
and that means storage space. the people who use caves have it
right. mmm!


Soft cheeses are low cost and can be made in short time, from what i
read. Hard cheeses are not, price a cheese press? Might modify a fridge
for storage.

you gotta show her who's boss. physics, otherwise,
will not be your friend, in this equation.

Physics is my friend along with his sidekick calculus.
