The results from the survey are in the appendix.

We are grateful to all of those who provided input and insight, particularly to Hahn’s End, Northland Sheep Dairy and Little Falls Farm for providing narration of what they have done.

I am always so impressed with the willingness of cheese folk to share information.  Hat’s off to you all and happy cheesemaking.
