From Jamaica…This is the hard work, integrity and intelligence that those of us in the developing world need in working with rudimentary tools and equipment in a context of community cooperation. 🇯🇲

"She started with just $11 and a dream. Sometimes, all we need is the courage to believe in ourselves when no one else does. ❤"

You should have adding selling buttermilk as well for bread and biscuits. Which was a main food source back then.

When she enters the second chamber, it is described as having the same shelves as the first. Then it takes her 3 weeks to build the shelving.

Hygiene is very important for processing food. Mara was resourceful in developing the technique to make the different cheeses flavors. Good story.! Michigan

As a cheese maker I relate to this story. I do wonder what she used for rennet to curdle the curds? Then what culture?
