Cost effectiveness of cheese making?We eat loads of cheese and I have been working my was through past cheese-making threads and James' article. My question is about cost-effectiveness - is it more cost-effective to make our own when we have to buy in the milk or should I add this to my list of things that might eventually persuade Arvo down the Goat Route?

no its not cost effective to make cheese if you have to buy the milk, that is if you make things like chedder and basic hard cheeses, the beauty of home cheese making is you can make what you love, you can add your favorite herbs and spices, add dried friuts and the like and make a fantastic cheese you love but can not buy.

No, not particularly cost effective, but very satisfying though.

when I make cheese its with my own herbs and I can tell people I made and grew it all, people are impressed at the dinner tabel but its not viable to make it just to eat it yourself apart from the fun factor

What, like:
Jam will save us all. And wine, of course. Cheese on the other hand costs a fortune even if you make it yourself, unless you own a goat or a cow. 
Seems a bit unwieldy for a sig to me.

Poetry is truth though - so truth must be poetry
