I need to go to the farmer's market today and pick up some beeswax. I have a 'Farmstead cheese' ripening and drying on my counter right now, wrapped up in clean cheese cloth, and it needs to be waxed and then stored in my fridge. I hope it tastes okay in four months... It's a bit of a gamble. But, it smells quite nice right now, so I hope everything goes well.

There are also weekend 'artisinal' cheesemaking workshops offered all over the place. You can use Google to find more on that topic.
