We took the cheese making class where you actually get to make mozzarella. The instructor was a lot of fun and clearly knew her stuff. We tried lots of delicious cheese and got to take home the stuff we made ourselves. This was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

What a well packaged kit! Everything you need to begin your journey! I made a batch of feta when my kit first arrived! It was an amazing three day journey! Far simpler than you might think! Try it!!

I had such a great time in the beginners cheese making class. The owner is so sweet and knowledgeable about cheeses. I really felt pretty confident about trying to make my own soft cheeses when I left the class. I would definitely recommend these classes to anyone wanting to learn to make their own basic cheeses or give the gift of experience to another.

I do not recommend Standing Stone Farm. I enjoyed the beginners cheese making class I took there, but have not had a good experience with them since. In April 2013, I signed up for an Intermediate class to be held in August 2013. They charged me the $150 as soon as I registered in April 2013. When the date of the class drew near, the owner, Paula Butler, cancelled the class, for seemingly good reasons. She said she would reschedule it in Oct or Nov 2013, but she did not. She also did not provide refunds, promising the class would be rescheduled in Spring 2014 when the goats would be active. I waited patiently, still interested in the class. It is now Summer of 2014, 14 months after she charged me for the class, and I still dont have my money, nor has she rescheduled the class. Ive emailed asking her for a refund, but she will not reply.I should have demanded my money back the moment she cancelled the class. Im of the firm belief companies like this should not charge the customer until the class/service date is near or until the goods are ready to be shipped. I probably shouldnt have trusted her when she said she was going to reschedule it, but the beginners class I took went so well and I really didnt want to lose my spot in the Intermediate class, which only allowed 8 students and she said she hasnt offered this class in several years.After the last year of stressing over this, the idea of this class is no longer fun at all. She could come to my house to teach me and I dont think I would want to do it now. Im too upset. The lack of response is really the icing on the cake.After I began posting online reviews and warnings, I got a reply from a relative of the owner tonight. She says the payment is nonrefundable - even though the owner cancelled the class and has refused to schedule another in 14 months. At this point, I will start filing complaints with the BBB and any other regulatory agency that might cover this situation. I also have a lawyer friend that may help me. I will contact him soon.If you are interested in cheese-making supplies or cheese-making classes, find a more reputable company unless you have money to throw away should they randomly decide to take your money and not provide the service or goods you paid for. Standing Stone Farms is not reputable.

My boyfriend and I recent spent a Sunday afternoon at the Beginners Cheese Making Class and it was awesome! Paula does a great job of teaching what were doing and why. Its nice to see someone with so much passion for something and is eager to teach others. She answered questions and walked us through what issues you may have at home in addition to why grocery store cheeses arent the best. I really appreciated her hard work and helpfulness.Like others said there is a limited number of classes offered but its a family run business and I dont expect someone to spend every Sunday teaching a four hour class when they have a family and a farm to take care of.I highly recommend the class if youre into cooking or even the science behind it.

I had the most wonderful day at my beginners class today! Thank you so much Paula! I cannot wait to make my first mozzarella and my ricotta will taste better than ever!

It was a great class. Paula really knows about cheese! I came away with a good understanding of how cheese is made and how I can do it myself. Thanks for a great class.

Entertaining, educational and splendid company....all while making the most delicious homemade cheese! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and plan to make our own cheese and butter very soon.

Paula was funny and a great teacher. We loved our cheese-making class and are looking forward to taking another one!

Great experience!
