Simple Farmer's Cheese Made From Goat Milk

[@froggymountain]

Wife just started and homestead herd (5 goats 4 does one buck). Her dream is to have milk, cheese etc.. You have made a wonderful contribution in simple easy to follow instructables.

[@thebrowningshomestead]

I love that all you added was ACV! No rennet needed. I love finding recipes that keep it simple! Thank you for sharing.

[@jspyrogram]

I laughed out loud when you dumped the onion saying ‘ok, I love onion’

[@malibu9899]

Goat cheese is so yummy and I love the varieties it pairs with Cranberry and other fruits and herbs as well.

[@InfinityandEternity]

Very good. The additional herbs add character!

[@hersheyqueenlisa]

Great video! I love when you just gave up and dumped ALL the onion in, because that’s just what I would do! LOL

[@TheBenrogue]

Great video! I'm a third-generation (cheddar) cheesemaker from Wisconsin, but I live in Colorado and see more goats than dairy cows. I'm going to follow your easy instructions. It's roasted chile season. Thanks for making it look so easy!

[@froggymountain]

You and the family REALLY ROCK! Thank you for the dedication and hard work to tech us all these wonders.

[@heritagehursthomestead777]

I could watch you make cheese all day. Such a neat process!

[@davidsmith7631]

I don’t subscribe to much on here unless the content is well put together with no bs and the creator clearly know what they are doing. This was so well explained thank you so much for putting good goat content out here!

[@hannahholcombe1364]

As many other people commented, THANK YOU for sharing, and doing so beautifully! This was my first attempt at making cheese from our goats and I needed up only having a 32 quart pot at my disposal and a ton of frozen milk and it turned out FABULOUS🎉 it did take more than 2 hours of continual stirring to not scald but it was well worth it in the end!! I will be binge watching your page the next few days 😂 🫶

[@RealEyesRealizeRealLies1]

Watched a bunch of how to make goat cheese, yours was the best! Thanks for the info!

[@sonjagoldinak6720]

I just made my FIRST batch of raw goat milk Farmer’s Cheese by your recipe using apple cider vinegar!!! It turned out great!!!! I’m so excited to make other of your recipes!

[@stacymcgee5378]

Thank you I will have to try this for my family. We bought dairy goats for milk butter and cheese. I'm trying to get us out of the store and more healthy. My little one will love making this with me . Keep up the hard work and wonderful videos.

[@susanmcewan302]

I really appreciate your video, no nonsense, easy and practical! ty

[@lisaml7411]

Thank you for this video! We’ll be making the cheese in a few weeks…. 😋

[@docteurshepherd]

Love this, was trying to figure out how my dad made goat cheese and I'm almost positive this is how. I cracked up when you put all the onion on because when you picked it up I thought to myself man I'd be putting all of it in there lol I love onion too

[@TheKristenGibson]

I love farmers cheese! We wanted to see your salad at the end!

[@elizabethlane5556]

Would you kindly show us how to make ricotta from the leftover whey?

[@audreyabdo7719]

Oh yummy it looks so delicious, I’d like the onions and dill too.

[@melaniefelmlee8963]

Delicious recipe, also super easy. I added black garlic salt instead of herbs.

[@jennakuder1496]

Doing this today!!! Sending love from New river,AZ

[@barrysakr9079]

Oh thank goddess for more Blue Cactus videos. Love the recipe. Gave some to mum and my nieces.

[@henrietteabenkou8557]

Bravo dear and thanks a lot for your video this is exactly what I was looking for.

[@tmc1373]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! I NEEDED TO SEE A SIMPLE, LESS INTIMIDATING WAY TO MAKE CHEESE!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

[@nancywilson7112]

That looks awesome ty for sharing

[@angelashurtleff]

Excellent video

[@johndeere3596]

Enjoyed watching your video.. you are polite... courteous.. straight forward and factual..very informative young lady....me and my wife are retired and have considered getting just a couple dairy breed nannies for the cheese and milk..I have a couple questions for you if u don't mind.....what do u do with the remaining milk after you remove what you need to make the cheese ? Also...is there a certain dairy breed you prefer ?

[@marysintetos6379]

“Ok I love onion” 😂 me too Crystal me too

[@hovawart16]

I really just wanted the whey, but I needed to make farmer's cheese to get the whey for making gjetost, and this looks fantastic! Now I am equally excited about the farmer's cheese as the whey for gjetost!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Farmer's cheese is amazing!!

[@holycow8743]

Thank you!!!😂 i love onions too! Will make this for ma family!!

[@mollybuttons9365]

I am learning how to make cheese. This is so simple and the Braggs ACV is wonderful. Ty for such a nice recipie and tutorial. Does it taste like feta except with herbs or is it more like a soft, herb infused spreadable cheese?

[@lilbitatatime3763]

I was salivating even though you didn't put garlic in it, ha ha. Good instructional video! 👍

[@findingyesmeditations8945]

Thank you for this. I found it easy to follow, it gives me the confidence to try it.

[@jeremyb251]

Great video!

[@charlottemccrea8669]

Thank you so much for sharing💗 it looks delicious, I'll definitely make it tomorrow 💗

[@kimcouch8285]

I love goat cheese. I make it often.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Same!

[@wandateague5698]

Thank you

[@biblebasefaith4971]

This is awesome 🤩 I want to try this. I’m glad 🙂 you made this video. Going to try this.

[@CitiCusco]

Very nice

[@carlyhintz8124]

Looks so good! Do you recommend always using fresh milk that was just milked that day? Or can the milk be a couple days old?

[@melaniehellum1281]

I have beautiful goats and hope to milk them and make some of this cheese. It looks so good

[@trudithomas9677]

Girl,that looks delicious. I want goats now 😂😂😂😂😂

[@trenee8447]

Okay I love onion”! 😂🤣 That’s me!

[@dinahnarat9945]

Yum! looks delicous...was wondering if this is also called chevre?

[@cintie45]

I love watching you make this recipe with the goat's milk however I have a question I didn't get it if you make the cheese with pasteurized goat milk or just raw? And after it got two 162° and add the vinegar did you turn the stove off before you let it sit? I'm pretty sure you did however you didn't mention it I just want to be sure

[@jayciccarelli]

Nice video. Simple, well explained, easy to follow.

[@MommaJessiesCraftyHomestead]

So excited to make this today!!!

[@hrobertson4966]

Thanks! Looks great 👍🏻 Throw all that onion in there 😂

[@ourquiltedhomestead1395]

Would this work if I cut the recipe in half? 1/2 gal milk and 1/4 cup ACV? I’ve only got one Nigerian doe in milk at the moment and I don’t think I need that much cheese for just myself…

[@cherylgalleran6602]

This cheese looks amazing Crystal 👍🏻. And yes, love onions too! If you ever want to adopt a grown woman to come help out some time. Let me know! Lol. Much love💗💗

[@tericarter2512]

How do you preserve the cheese? How long will it last?

[@ashleysovilla2037]

I love onion too! Lol! Thanks for sharing this process. I’ll definitely be trying this.

[@madalinamarshall8637]

Hello and thank you for showing us how to make goat cheese, but what I want to ask you is, does the goat milk needs to be boiled before drinking as the cow milk?

[@lifeintheranchito825]

Do you use appple cider vinegar with the mother or without??

[@GinaSiska]

Thank you so much 😊 looks delicious!!!

[@GrantWyness]

Wonderful 😋 thank you for your to-the-point explanation

[@lynnettemilleville9517]

What do you do with the left over whey?

[@canterlilyfarm]

That looks great. I think thatll be My next recipe to try and put the cheese into homemade pierogis.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Yum!

[@davidahmad2026]

Can we use pasteurized milk for the cheeses? (Mozzarella and farmers)?

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

That looks amazing!!

[@sydneyparrish6979]

Did you use raw goat milk or can I use pasteurized from the store?

[@shirleymoore6902]

Great video & looks yummy! Now do you use the whey to make something else?

[@TheKristenGibson]

You can use the whey to lacto ferment food. You can also use it to soak oats (or other grains/beans) overnight. Or give it to pigs, or other farm animals .

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Good for plants too and chickens!

[@shirleymoore6902]

Great to know Crystal that it can be used on plants which I will be trying out this year after I make my goat cheese😊

[@Sterling_him]

Great videos thank you

[@catspjs6229]

Anything you can do with what’s left over in the pot ?

[@judytremblay3441]

What do you do with the whey?? Do you reuse the cheese clothe? Can cheese be made with the goat can milk?

[@ch-xl3xm]

I was wondering that to. The milk I saw at the grocery store is Meyenberg goat milk in the can. I hope she let's us know.

[@xiaoleideng]

Awesome video! Thank you so much for sharing this. I am going to give it a try this week.

[@sissycourmier3100]

we will be making this

[@CarisaRae]

Yay! I'm trying to figure out what to do with all this milk 😆

[@maryfisher9956]

How many goats do you have ? Thank you for sharing!

[@karlaj6285]

I made some cheese today after watching your video. My curds were much smaller and they stuck to the cloth. Can you tell me where I may have messed up please?

[@melissaoncoast]

Thanks for sharing!!!

[@ashleyacosta3751]

O my goodness delicious recipe I tried your ice cream .. its yummy my family loved it 😍 .. would you be able to do one on a cream cheese style goat cheese

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

I just may have to :)

[@kimberleyfriesenhahn2515]

Great video as always. I have one question. We have a goat who's milk tastes like a buck smells. It's nasty and no one in the family will touch it. I have done research and tried the suggestions. She's not been near any bucks, the milk is immediately chilled, our milk pail is sanitized daily. We give her a combination of goat feed, alfalfa pellets & sunflower seeds with her hay. She also gets free choice goat minerals and kelp. Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Different goat breeds can vary in taste. That being said her milk may taste that way naturally. Everything you are doing sounds correct and good so the milk is at peak taste. Maybe she just doesn't have good tasting milk!

[@Xesxs]

That's the best part! I love the gamey taste of goat milk.

[@scottolson4541]

Followed the same exact way you did it...but I didn't seem to get the same amount as you did. Also it never came to the top of the pan...more like sank to the bottom after I added ACV and stirred...thoughts?

[@8EACRESHOMESTEAD]

Mine too

[@njb3153]

Does farmers cheese freeze well?

[@loriehabel1552]

Nicely done. Do you let your chickens have the whey or do consume yours?. My chickens think its crack.lol.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Yes!

[@sophiabultena6781]

Do you have to use stainless?

[@madeinussr7551]

Is this cheese considered pasteurized? Ive had lots of unpasteurized milk in my childhood but I'm scared to give it to the kids

[@beadladee]

TY!

[@QueenieGia]

Can’t wait until my tiny herd produces goats milk 🤩

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

You are one step closer!! Drive safe!!

[@presleyrain4061]

How long does it take for you to get a gallon of milk from 14 does?

[@dunestaniszewski2300]

My Little Farm- One good dairy doe, or two decent ones.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

I get 5-6 gallons a day from my 14 girls :)

[@ch-xl3xm]

Can you make it with Meyenberg goat milk in the can. The store doesn't sell fresh goats milk.

[@victoriaschell2225]

Do you not add rennet?

[@HomsteadingThePioneerWay]

I didn't know my does were bred and gave them CD &t shots in Feb. then in march the started bagging up, last night one of them had twins, my question is about the shots for kids, you had said give the shots i month before kidding, mine have been 2 months do i give kids a shot at 3 weeks and then at 6 weeks? and how much 2 ml each time? Thanks

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Yes to all of that :)

[@HomsteadingThePioneerWay]

@@BlueCactusDairyGoats Thanks

[@EgyptianShepherd]

🤔 how does it taste ?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Delicious!

[@LeeShaneREALTOR]

finally got some fresh goats milk to try this recipe , unfortunatly i didnt get the curd separation when I added the vingar at 162F. some small curd on the bottom of the pot but that was all. what did I do wrong 😒

[@BobbieGWhiz]

How does farmers cheese differ from cottage cheese from ricotta? Thanks.

[@branchingoutpermaculturewi4766]

how does it last once its ready to eat before going bad

[@rudizahra1347]

Is it degrees centigrade or degrees Fahrenheit, please?

[@jenmurphy8998]

How long does this cheese keep in the fridge for using raw goat milk?

[@catfishm.1361]

Can this be made with whole milk powder goats milk? 👍🏻❤️

[@jocelynbullard2150]

I tried this recipe and my milk didn’t form curds 😩. Is there something I can do to recover the loss of a gallon of raw goat milk??

[@larisaboytsov6977]

How long you can keep it in a fridge?

[@jrchapman36]

Can you make your cheese sweet ? Instead of savory ? Just thinking how fresh berries and a bit of sweetner would be amazing on toast or a salty cracker

[@jenmurphy8998]

Also, can I use a yogurt strainer in place of cheese cloth?

[@stephaniemomma]

Oh, lawdy! I'm too hungry for this video 😅 That looks sooooo good!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Delicious!! 😁

[@ashleyacosta3751]

Question... what do you make with whey

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Not much with the whey from this cheese. Chickens love it plants love it

[@justmundanethingswithlou70]

How many weeks is the shelf life for this farmer’s cheese?

[@dolliestaley9222]

How much vinegar?
