Cricket Creek Farm is a growing, productive, multi-faceted organism. Their grass-based dairy farm is one of the oldest dairy farms in the region, but is infused with new life and energy. Their primary activity is raising dairy cows for delicious milk. They are licensed to sell raw milk from the farm. The rest of their milk is made into artisanal cheese on site in the farmstead creamery.
About the Instructor:
Suzy Konecky is a Brooklyn native, and a longtime lover of cheese. She received her Bachelor's of Science from Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Science. She studied in the department of International Agriculture and Rural Development, with a focus on the agricultural economics of Venezuela and the impact of widespread GMO development in India. Suzy was inspired by the vibrant agricultural community of the Finger Lakes region of New York and has since been following her passion for nourishing food. She now manages the creamery at Cricket Creek Farm cheese production, inventory, marketing and sales. When she's not cheese-ing, she likes to dance to 80s music, spin yarn, go for walks outside, and pick flowers.
