A few years ago, we started hearing about a trend in California cheese-making called "farmstead cheese." The term brings to mind a farmer on his three-legged stool, milking his cows and then taking the milk and cream to his wife. She, and her four or five bonneted children, make the farmstead cheese with an old churn and wooden molds, probably in an old red barn with a few cats roaming around.
