Why Cheesecakes ?

                          (These are the girls that make the 6 eggs which go in each cheesecake.)
For weeks now I've been having an itch, to be making cheesecakes. Currently, I am on my third round of baking.
So far the eggs from my Rhode Island Red chicken girls are the only ingredients that haven't come from the store, though the vision and goal are to be making Italian Style Cheesecakes, with freshly made goat cheese and the eggs from our own dairy herd and our chickens on the homestead.

I've been practicing with different recipes and have found one that I really like, though when it comes the time, I will have to "tweak" it for the home made cheeses.

The Vision is bigger than Cheesecakes. The vision and now research are now going towards both dairy goats and transforming our barn into a commercial kitchen and making all sorts of wonderful homemade yumm.

The first goal is to be starting a dairy goat CSA as soon as possible

I see Goat cheeses, Milk, Soaps and Kefirs ( one flavored with maple syrup is floating in mind), I see Sourdough bread, healthy ferments of Saurkraut and Kimchi and many other delicious and nutritious foods.

Another year down the road I see an aquaponics greenhouse and fresh basil made into pesto, the ideas and desires to create a sustainable living here on the land while making good food for the local community keep me full and busy, researching and experimenting with food, and that is why I invited you to stop by.



More to come... thanks for visiting.

  2. After living in the south for 25yrs and trying cheesecakes everywhere, it's incredibly refreshing to find a deep Italian style cheesecake done right, where the layers of flavor hit your palate independently, where the crust is its own unique tongue explosion, and it all melts in your mouth while your level of personal bliss only increases with each bite. These are super-dank awesome,find this man, you'll thank yourself later
