Instead of using the paper filter, I use a reusable coffee filter. It can be sanitized between uses and you are not having to continually buy new filters. It fits right in the top of a gallon jar. For a half gallon jar I use a funnel to set on the jar and then the coffee filter sits in that. Good job making the cheese. !!!

(Like, when I first saw you and thought you looked like your dad until you smiled 😊 and you have your mother’s beautiful smile). Even if you don’t, I love your recipe for the chèvre and would like to see more recipes. Can you make butter, yogurt, etc.? Show us what you can do with goat’s milk. I love that you aren’t afraid of the camera. You tell us what we need to know clearly and concisely. Great job! 🎉

My nubians, kiko, nor lamancha ever get out by means of mischief. I'll never buy Nigerian dwarfs again though. They are tiny escape artists. So glad to see this video. I've made feta and mozzarella, but I've been meaning to try cheve, so now I will do that. I strain my milk into jars in and icechest next to a frozen jug of salt water, the icechest sits in my wheel barrow to make it easy to bring up to the house. We also move the stanchion around in the fields to follow the goats rotating pastures. So sometimes hauling the milk to the house is quite a walk (hence the wheelbarrow).
