I was fortunate to begin my cheesemaking by buying milk from my friend and fellow cheesemaker Marcia Barinaga, who owns the Barinaga Ranch sheep dairy in Marshall, CA. Sheep milk is very hard to come by! Since Marcia needs every precious drop of her flock's milk for her own cheese production, she could no longer sell me the amount of milk I need to keep my cheese in production. So, I had a choice to make: (1) stop making sheep cheese, (2) move to Wisconsin where they have lots of sheep milk, or (3) buy my own sheep and become a shephardess-cheesemaker. I went with option #3.
