Wisconsin is renowned for its cheese industry, and the University of Wisconsin-River Falls is now offering a Cheesemaker’s Short-Course to train individuals interested in the craft. The course, held at the university’s on-campus dairy plant, provides hands-on experience in cheese production, equipment operation, and the science behind cheese making. Supported by companies like Culver’s and Land O’ Lakes, the course aims to raise the quality of cheese production in the state. Students like Makenzie Skibbie, whose family is in the business, see the course as a way to gain a competitive edge in the industry, especially in Wisconsin where a license is required to make cheese. The course is a testament to Wisconsin’s commitment to preserving its cheese-making tradition and passing on knowledge to future generations. For those interested in sampling the cheese produced by students, they can visit the on-campus Freddy’s Dairy Bar. To learn more about the course, visit the university’s website.
