Thursday 29th October, 10.30am
Our first stop on camp was to the Retro-Organics Dairy Factory near Wyndham (after a couple of cars got lost!) We visited here because we have been studying and learning about dairy farming with Mrs May. Mrs Greer, one of the owners, told us all about how her and her husband began the dairy factory and explained about the cheese and yoghurt making processes. We were able to look through the viewing windows at all of the equipment, but unfortunately it wasn't operating during our visit.
We were lucky enough to try three of the different cheeses that they make - cumin flavoured, garlic flavoured and haloumi. Lots of us loved the haloumi, which is the only cheese that holds it's shape when cooked. Mrs Greer also let us try two of her yoghurt flavours. Mmmmmm.
What a great start to camp!
Because it was raining, we were allowed to stay and eat our lunch at the dairy factory before heading off to the marae in Invercargill.
