Feta and Chevre Cheesemaking Supplies? [Suburban Detroit]

My dad just bought a family of goats - I'm going to have about gallon of goat milk a day and am looking forward to some cheese.

Where can I find cheesemaking supplies in the area? I would love to make Feta and Chevre.

I'm in Troy, I often work in Wyandotte, the goats are in West Branch.

Thank you

    Probably out of the way for you, but Zingerman's in Ann Arbor sells rennet tablets, but only at their store down on Ellsworth at State Street.

          I agree, that's where I've bought my supplies from. And you can sign up for a really great e-newsletter as well.

        Hopman's on Walton isn't far, and they are a pleasure to do business with, but their cheese making supplies are limited. http://hopmanssupply.com/
        I suspect you'll be best off going mail order.

            Cool. They close at 7:30...or maybe a few minutes early on a friday. ;-)
