Cheese Factory Tour

Our homeschool group went on a field trip this week to a local cheese factory.
 
 
(Sparkle is on the left)
We learned that making cheese is a STINKY business.  Butterfly is in the foreground.  Bud is in the background.  The boy not holding his nose is the son of the man we knew that got us the tour there.  I think he had been there before.


Ready to start the tour . . .


Seperating the whey and filling the bins . . .



Bud and his friend, Levi


Swiss cheese
Each bin weighs about 200 pounds.  Every pallet has 7 bins, and they are stacked 2 pallets high to age.


This room has over a million pounds of cheese.

The tour is almost over and still holding our noses.

Butterfly finally was able to not hold her nose! (center of photo)
Bud is peeking into the box.

We thought it was strange that there were 100s of worms in the parking lot.  We were dodging them on the way back to the van.
