About the Cheesemaker...
|
Naomi De Ruiter’s life as a Modern Milkmaid™ and Artisan Cheesemaker began when she fell head-over-hooves in love with her first Jersey cow, Blossom. In addition to making cheese for her family, she spent two years working with an award-winning cheesemaker and now dairy farms in Armstrong alongside her husband, Ben. Naomi loves to share the magic and science of cheesemaking with the world.
