Cincinnati Chapter Weston A Price Foundation events

The Cincinnati Chapter of the Weston A Price Foundation is offering several events.  From their newsletter:
MAKE REFRESHING KEFIR & KOMBUCHA FOR THE SUMMER
Sunday May 2, 3-5pm at the Gorman Heritage Farm
Make your own kefir using kefir grains, or kefir powder, and eliminate the harmful ingredients in store bought kefir. Experienced kefir maker, Sandy will show us how to make plain kefir and smoothies. And we will sample the yummy results!
Making Kombucha will be presented by one of our skilled fermented beverage makers. Learn to be confident in making this efferevescent and satisfying beverage. Costs less than a dollar to make a gallon of this thirst quenching drink. 
GOAT FARM TOUR & POTLUCK
Sunday, June 6, 3:00 PM at the farm in New Richmond
Our event host, has invited us to her goat farm near Bethel. This is an excellent opportunity to see some lovely goats- Nigerian Dwarfs, Alpines, Saanens- learn about goat milk and cheese, enjoy an incredible feast, and take in some fresh air. She is planning on having a few samples of goat cheese available for tasting, and even some goat summer sausage. She will tell us about the goat herdshare program she has started, how she milks and other aspects of the program. After the tour and presentation we will conclude the session with the Potluck. 
DOUBLE J DAIRY FARM TOUR
Sunday, July 11, 2:30 PM at the Double J Farm in Hamilton
Joe and Janet Streit own the Double J Farm, which is now a thriving cow herdshare program for real milk drinkers in the areas north, south, east and west of Hamilton (including Cincinnati). We will listen to how the Streits went from a very small operation to the one they have today. Their story includes their involvement in the legal wrangles with Ohio, moving to a herdshare program, growing the herd and the farm operation. The Streits are members of the Ohio Dairy Grazing Producers, which is a recently formed organization. Joe and Janet are knowledgeable farmers who can answer your questions about dairy farming. This farm is an excellent example of what can be with love and knowhow. We will also discuss milk nutritional and safety issues.
