The Yardstead

We want to start making our own cheese here at the yardstead. I met a man last month from Argentina. Him and his girlfriend (French) make their own cheese (soft) and brew there own beer for entertainment. I think it would be pretty easy for us to start making some easy spreadable cheeses here at the yardstead. In our area we have several dairys. I need to check into any rules or regulations about purchasing milk directly and also check with our local dairy to see if they will sell us any fresh milk. If not, we are considering trying some experiments with organic milk to get started. As we progress we will post pictures and comments. Please let me know if anyone has any helpful hints.
