Farmer cheese may be made from the milk of cows\, sheep or goats\, with each giving its own texture and flavor. During coagulation the mixture separates into curds (solid) and whey (liquid)\, then the whey is drained off. Further pressing out of the moisture yields the malleable solid results of pot cheese\, while even more pressing makes farmer cheese\, which is solid\, dry and crumbly. Adding herbs\, garlic or other ingredients creates a soft\, flavored spread. Enjoy samples as we take you through the process of making farmer’s cheese. \n\nDate: Thursday\, July 10th\nTime: 10:00am – 3:30pm\nFee: Included with tour admission\nInstructor: Carol Carpenetti URL:https://quietvalley.org/event/cheese-making/ LOCATION:Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm\, 347 Quiet Valley Rd\, Stroudsburg\, PA\, 18360\, United States CATEGORIES:Special Events,Summer Highlights Demos ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://quietvalley.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Cheese-Homeschool-Heritage.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250705T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250705T150000 DTSTAMP:20260225T113009 CREATED:20250616T134702Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250616T134702Z UID:18555-1751709600-1751727600@quietvalley.org SUMMARY:Bake Oven Highlight DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, the bake oven was the heart of the homestead kitchen\, providing families with fresh bread and baked goods on a weekly basis.

It is a food and fiber crop cultivated in cooler regions of the world. The textiles made from flax are known in the Western countries as linen\, and traditionally used for bed sheets\, underclothes\, and table linen. In addition to referring to the plant itself\, the word “flax” may refer to the unspun fibers of the flax plant. Flax fibers are taken from the stem of the plant\, and are two to three times as strong as those of cotton. Additionally\, flax fibers are naturally smooth and straight. Europe and North America depended on flax for vegetable-based cloth until the nineteenth century\, when cotton overtook flax as the most common plant used for clothing and making rag-based paper. Come watch as flax is spun into linen thread and learn more about this amazing fiber. \n\nDate: Tuesday August 6th\nTime: 10:00am – 3:30pm\nFee: Included with tour admission\nInstructor: Sue Oiler & Friends URL:https://quietvalley.org/event/flax-linen-day/ LOCATION:Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm\, 347 Quiet Valley Rd\, Stroudsburg\, PA\, 18360\, United States CATEGORIES:Special Events,Summer Highlights Demos ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://quietvalley.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Untitled-design5.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240613T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240613T150000 DTSTAMP:20260225T113009 CREATED:20230816T215547Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240618T153326Z UID:17361-1718272800-1718290800@quietvalley.org SUMMARY:1890s Cooking Demonstration DESCRIPTION:Join us as we fire up our 1890s wood cook stove and try out some of Emma’s kitchen gadgets.
