A Cheese Curd The most important lesson of my trip is that fresh cheese curds are tasty. Mmm... |
Cheese Posters Illustrating their water treatment systems, mostly. |
Floating Cow It's like Cincinnati's flying pigs, except more plastic. |
Cheese Creation, Step One That's mostly just milk being mixed in there, with a few congealing agents. (You can see my car in the reflection, too.) |

Cheese Creation, Step Two After the milk stage, the water is drained out and you get a whole bunch of cheese curds. |
Cheese Creation, Step Three The cheese curds are then dried and stirred, before they're ready to eat. (Mmm!) |
Cheese Creation, Step Four The curds are then inserted into the blocks on the right, which are then sold. Then I eat them. The end. |
Happy Daddy The Master Cheesemaker got to play with his daughter through the glass. Everybody was happy. |

Cow Milk Tanks An interesting color scheme to paint the milk tanks... |
Milk Tanks and Tim I'm glad these didn't remind me of Gateway. |
Purification Room This was definitely Beth's favorite part. |
Tropical Plants There were 12 tanks, I believe, that they purified the water through. |

Living Machine: Clarifier The water here was just filthy, straight from the whey. |
Living Machine: Tank 1 & 2 There wasn't much to see here. |
Open Aerobic Tank 1 The plague here kindof explained what was going on. I think that I took the picture just to see if Dad wanted to see it. |
Open Aerobic Tank 2 This one had a lot of foam and ickiness, but stuff was growing in there. |

Ecological Fluidized Bed 2 This was nearly the goal state: you could put (some) animals in there and not have them die immediately! |
Mostly-Clean Water It does seem to work, or at least they're doing a good job of pretending. |
Final Water Step The water comes out and enters a local creek; I guess it's clean enough to not destroy everything around them, or someone would have complained. |
More Plants Waiting to be tossed in, or sold? I wasn't sure. |

Metal Sunflowers The most ecologically safe of all! |
