The Conestoga Herb Guild will host a program by Scott Breneman, "Let's Make Cheese," at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 8, at the Millersville VFW, 219 Walnut Hill Road, Millersville.

Breneman will give a brief history of cheesemaking and talk about lessons he learned in the process. He will also demonstrate how to make fresh ricotta and ricotta salata with items commonly found in home kitchens.

Breneman, a fifth-generation operator of Village Crest Farm near Strasburg, raised Guernsey cows and delivered raw milk in the New Providence and Refton areas before switching to growing produce for restaurants. In 2020, he acquired an 80-pound Jersey calf and took up cheesemaking to use the excess milk.

In addition, Carolyn Newcomer will talk about the herb of the month, marjoram. Refreshments will be served after a brief business meeting.

Guests are welcome with advance reservation and a fee. To register, contact Susan Atkins at 717-725-7451 or atkinsateb@aol.com.
