- If you have ever thought of making cheese at home but have been overwhelmed at the idea, this episode is for you! Robyn of Cheese From Scratch joins me to talk all things cheesemaking. Robyn’s desire is to make this skill accessible to everyone. We talk about how cheesemaking can become a normal part of your everyday routine, just like any other skill on the homestead. A common misconception is that cheesemaking is just for those who own a dairy animal, but this isn’t true! Anyone can learn to make cheese from scratch.
In this episode, we cover:
- The distinction between homestead and professional cheesemaking
- How to decide what type of cheese to make
- Addressing some common fears about the safety of making cheese at home
- The easiest cheeses to start with
- How cheesemaking mimics what happens naturally in a calf’s stomach
- Which supplies you need to buy and which supplies you can DIY
- Surprising ways to repurpose all of the leftover whey
- The secret to incorporating cheesemaking into your everyday life
GUEST BIOGRAPHY
Robyn is a mom to three sweet and wild children, a wife, a rancher, a milkmaid, and a Homestead Cheesemaker. She teaches homesteaders how to turn their milk into cheese. Robyn’s cheesemaking journey began in 2014, when her husband brought home a milk cow. Since then, she has been passionate about experimenting with techniques that make home cheesemaking easier for a busy lifestyle. Robyn likens her cheesemaking to how cheese was made in the old days: she makes cheese with a baby on her hip, a toddler at her feet, and a loaf of bread in the oven. If there is a way she can take a shortcut without compromising safety or taste, she does it! Years of experimentation, trial, and error have brought her home cheesemaking to where it is today: cheese made from scratch, the simple way.

Great video! I also use my whey in homemade mayo. It’s funny how modernized we are here (and sad). Most countries that don’t have refrigeration, use cultured foods on a daily basis. And here, we are afraid of it. Thanks again ladies! Very good interview!
I grew up in a dairy farm and anytime the milk from a cow couldn’t be put in the bulk tank ( like the last milking after a penicillin treatment) my Mom would fill her big canner with the milk and set it behind the wood range until it set up . All she used is a wooden spoon and that canner I don’t think she even owned a thermometer. Yum I love homemade cheese !
Thank you! This really made me feel like I could make cheese! I've done a few recipes since I listened to this and really enjoyed making them!
Thanks for this new resource!
This is great. I am a fan of both of you girls and here you are together!
I am presently stirring a 5 gallon pot of milk making a farmhouse cheddar.
I make a 5 gallon pot every day. I've gotten to where I can make it from memory.
Making cheese feels like a super power!!
wow everyday!!! It took me all day today to make Bulgarian feta. Albiet, this was my first time...but I can't imagine doing it everyay. I am tired out.
Eeek. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Lord led me to you. 3 years ago I was living in suburban hell. Today we’re free on our new homestead and we just give so much thanks for helping get us to this point! You were definitely an inspiration! Now we’re devouring Joel Salatin and going up to polyface farms. God Bless you and yours!
Respect de France, c'est ce que je veux voir et entendre..🙏🖐
This was SUPER helpful!! Must watch/listen!! Thank you ☺️
I’m no homesteader but I learned to make ricotta and if you can make yogurt you can make ricotta and it’s delicious!
Really good information!!!
I don't know if there is any reason to do this but I use whey to brine chicken. And it was good!
So cool!! Random thought, maybe whey would be great for blueberry bushes? I could be wrong, but I *think* I remember that they prefer acidic soil and that is an issue for some people.
Hey everyone Im pretty new to the channel n I like all the info that you give during the cast. Could you please answer more questions in the comments? You n the people you interview have so much information and we have lots of questions about that information. Thank you 😊❤️ have a wonderful day everyone ❣️
I've heard if freeze drying whey is a good way to use it.
You can soak your grains in whey :)
Does she sell any of her cheeses?
hi
My favorite line, “it’s like a capsule meal” 🙂BRILLIANT!
