Goats Milk for Cheese - Coweta County, Georgia

[twall]

Hi. I am interested in trying to make cheese from goat's milk and wondered if those who have goats (as pets or as a business), sell the goats' milk in raw or pasteurized form. I'm in Coweta County, Georgia and wouldn't mind driving a little bit to find a resource.

Thanks!

Hi Newnanchick!

I live in Sharpsburg on Fischer Rd. I actually don't have any chickens. (I hope this is ok.) I found this forum when searching online for goat information.

Good luck on getting your new goats!

I know where Fisher road is!!!! I hope that you find someone with goat milk. I do not know of any one who has it. Thanks Livia

Do you have a recipe or link for goats milk cheese. I was talking to a friend about how we've thought about getting milk goats and she said her hubby loves it.

Thanks

Hi, e mail me. I've got some milk resources for you. I'll try to post cheese recipes but it will be tomorrow night more than likely.

There is a very long thread here about cheese, yogurt and buttermilk among other things from goats milk.

Thank you Missprissy. They were making goats cheese on Martha Stewart today. I recorded it so I can go back to it too.

I found a great new recipe for my goat milk. It is called Beginner's Goat Cheese and it's from Capri Herb Farm

find it at www.gourmetsleuth.com/recipe_goatcheese2.htm

I find it very adaptable and you can vary it for basic cheese, ricotta or cottage cheese. Plus - you don't have to cook very long/stir as you do with the other recipes as much. And no rennet.

Enjoy.
