We're Streaming Free! How We Moved Our Cheese Making Video to YouTube

by Paula Butler

For years, our instructional video A Journey Through Home Cheese Making was available on DVD — and it was one of our most popular products. Customers loved being able to follow along step by step in their kitchens as they made mozzarella, ricotta, feta, and more.

But times change, and so do the ways we watch videos. DVDs are harder to play, and honestly, nobody wants to wait for shipping when they're excited to start making cheese right now.

So we made a decision: we're giving it away for free on YouTube.

Why We Moved to YouTube

We want making cheese at home to be as easy and accessible as possible. Streaming means you can:

  • Watch on your phone, tablet, TV, or computer
  • Pause and rewind mid-recipe without fumbling with a remote
  • Access it instantly — no waiting, no shipping
  • Come back to it again and again, any time you need a refresher

It just made sense. The whole point of Standing Stone Farms has always been to make home cheese making approachable for everyone, and free streaming does exactly that.

What's on the Channel

We didn't just upload one long video and call it a day. We broke the content down so you can jump straight to the cheese you want to make:

  • Getting Started — New to cheese making? Start here. We walk you through your ingredients, equipment, and what to expect before you make your first batch.
  • Mozzarella — Paula's famous no-fail recipe, step by step.
  • Ricotta — Simple, creamy, and ready in under an hour.
  • Feta — A tangy classic that's easier than you think.
  • Chèvre — Silky goat cheese you'll want to put on everything.
  • Cream Cheese — Better than anything from the store.
  • Queso Blanco & Queso Fresco — Quick, fresh, and endlessly versatile.
  • Mascarpone — Rich, decadent, and surprisingly simple.

Each video is designed so you can make cheese along with us in real time — just hit play, gather your ingredients, and follow along.
