The Small-Scale Cheese Business: The Complete Guide to Running a Successful Farmstead Creamery Review: Our only qualifications for this venture at that time were a love of farm animals (wife) and a love of well-crafted ... - My wife and I recently purchased an 80-acre farm in the Virginia highlands with a view toward raising dairy goats and making cheese when we begin our early retirement in about three years. Our due diligence has included reading a number of books on these subjects during the past two years including all three of Ms. Caldwell's books ("The Small-Scale Cheese Business", "The Small-Scale Dairy" and "Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking"). While each book is a five-star read in its own right, the focus of this review is "The Small Scale Cheese Business". I suspect most people finding their way to this book on desertcart have the same nascent interest in goat farming and cheesemaking that my wife and I developed a couple of years ago. Our only qualifications for this venture at that time were a love of farm animals (wife) and a love of well-crafted food products (me), plus the wisdom to know that a substantial learning curve awaited us. Ms. Caldwell's book broke down the various topics into manageable bites that were digested easily. Although each topic is not covered completely (it would be impossible to do so in a single volume), she provides what we found to be a proper amount of information to prevent overwhelming the reader while also listing numerous resources for further research. If I had to identify a single characteristic of this book that separated it from the others we have read in this general area, I would point to the Ms. Caldwell's science-based explanations of goat diseases and cheese contamination from pathogens. Our two greatest fears going into this business are illness and death to both goats and humans due to situations we could have and should have prevented. We found that this book addressed these topics thoroughly and helpfully, while alleviating our fears somewhat that we might lay waste inadvertently to the goat and human populations. In fact, our business plan will recognize the resources we believe are necessary to ensure we do not let this happen. I look forward to reading anything else Ms. Caldwell may write on subjects related to goats and cheese. Her work provides a ready reference that I find myself pulling often from the book shelf. Review: Real-life detailed information - Excellent information for building and running a cheese dairy. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1603585494 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,434,884 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #405 in Cheese & Dairy Cooking #1,090 in Food Science (Books) #1,103 in Animal Husbandry (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (62) | | Dimensions | 7.01 x 0.72 x 9.97 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 9781603585491 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1603585491 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | March 13, 2014 | | Publisher | Chelsea Green | ## Images ![The Small-Scale Cheese Business: The Complete Guide to Running a Successful Farmstead Creamery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81iPpzCa2OL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our only qualifications for this venture at that time were a love of farm animals (wife) and a love of well-crafted ... *by M***. on October 29, 2014* My wife and I recently purchased an 80-acre farm in the Virginia highlands with a view toward raising dairy goats and making cheese when we begin our early retirement in about three years.

That says alot as a poor college student. I will say however, that when you order it make sure to check your mailbox. I was waiting for ages (like a whole week) for a package to be on my doorstep and it never did. We have a tiny metal shared mailbox system at an apartment complex and ending up finding it in there days later. It was sadly bent but hoping will some weight on it it'll mold back into place. It was a poor judgement call for the postman to leave something someone might consider valuable (which I do) in a tiny mailbox a book should not fit in that is also stuffed with other letters and newspapers. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Small-Scale Cheese Business: The Complete Guide to Running a Successful Farmstead Creamery - The Small-Scale Dairy: The Complete Guide to Milk Production for the Home and Market - Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking: The Ultimate Guide for Home-Scale and Market Producers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4560679-the-small-scale-cheese-business-the-complete-guide-to-running](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4560679-the-small-scale-cheese-business-the-complete-guide-to-running) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
