24/7 support from members of our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/270065349856166/ mean you will never be alone in a crisis, If the FAQ can't help you the members there can!
In the store you will find cultures, rennets, additive powders, Cheese boards and knives, cheesewire, protective cultures and paint on wax, equipment like premium cheeseloth, thermometers and hygrometers and Ph meters. In gifts you will find a range of stocking stuffer priced fridge magnets for the cheese lover in your life, and of course my book packed with recipes to get you to professional looking cheese at home.

Who am I?
I am Tracey Johnson, author of Cheese Please! and Cheese log. I have been working on the facebook group Learn to make cheese for over 6 years to bring knowledge and support, troubleshooting and explanations to our worldwide cheese hive. I teach cheesemaking classes in person and online and take part in educational demonstrations at local historical sites such as Huble Homestead - showing how cheese would have been historically made.
Cheeseneeds.com and the Facebook group Learn to make cheese were created by my friend and mentor, Chera. A lifelong teacher she enjoys bringing cheesemaking to everyone and was frustrated by the lack of small quantity cheese supplies available. She started this store to cater to the home user but with professional products and the ethos that you too can make cheese. In February 2022, I took over the store and continue to source products for the home cheesemaker that I personally would use.
I am developing a range of kits to suit the beginner or advanced cheesemaker and find products that will make cheesemaking easy.
