Welcome to our website! Here you can find general information about Quillisascut Farm, more about Quillisascut Cheese Company or the current scoop on what is happening at Quillisascut Farm School of the Domestic Arts.

Farm school classes are beginning to fill up. Learning about producing and using local seasonal foods are the heart of our program. If you are looking for a cooking vacation or a fun farm and garden learning experience with your child, we have scheduled classes to fit your desires. View and download flyers and applications.

If you have an idea for a workshop at Quillisascut; or a book club, Slow Food convivum or gardening group who would like to share a few days learning about the honest pleasure of food please contact us!

The page proofs for our book Chefs on the Farm: Recipes and Inspiration from the Quillisascut Farm School of the Domestic Arts have arrived, they are full of beautiful photos by Harley Soltes, delightful stories by Shannon Borg, and delicious recipes by Kären Jurgensen. Published by Mountaineers Books, the book is due to be released in October of 2008 and I am sure you will want to purchase several copies to share with your family and friends. Read more about it and get a taste by testing one of the recipes.

Spring has arrived and along with it a new season of cheese. The aging cellar is filling up with Curado and we are gearing up for 2008 to be a great year. Of course all that cheese means that the goat kids have arrived and are drinking their share of the milk, as well as entertaining us with their acrobatic tricks; doing hand (hoof) springs from the rocks and dancing on their mothers backs. They seem to be saying “It is great to be alive, life is good!”

They have us all saying, “Life is Good!”
