Where better to learn how to make your own cheese than at Hollard Gardens, a horticultural oasis in the heart of dairy country?
A free cheese-making workshop at the Kaponga heritage property on Sunday, October 18 will give participants techniques for success at home with soft cheese and herb cheese recipes.
The workshop is aimed squarely at beginners and no special equipment is needed. It will be led by a local dairy farmer who has been making her own cheese for 15 years.
Sunday's workshop runs from 2pm to 4pm at Hollard Gardens, 1686 Upper Manaia Road, Kaponga. It is part of a year-round programme of free events at Hollard Gardens, Tupare and Pukeiti, the three heritage properties owned and managed by the Taranaki Regional Council on behalf of the people of the region.
