Avery Jones
Interviewed on July 18, 2022 in Food
Who are you, and what do you do?
I am Avery Jones, the owner and founder of Shooting Star Creamery. I am a high school artisan cheese maker from the central coast of California, primarily focused on sheep and cow milk cheeses.
What hardware(tools) and software do you use?
I use an Alienware laptop to run my business as I often work from home due to having to keep up with classes.
We use a 500 gallon C.Vant Reit Dutch cheese making vat and all of our milk is pasteurized in this unit. We also use a traditional pre-press stainless steel draining table and pneumatic cheese presses. All of our cheeses are brined in a saturated salt solution and then aged on pine wood planks and flipped by hand until they are ready for sale.
I use [Squarespace][] for my business's website since I learned how to use it in school and noticed it had many pre-existing templates for businesses.
What would be your dream/dream setup?
My dream setup would be to have a desktop at work and a designated laptop or tablet for when I need to travel and do business. It would also be useful to have these additional devices so I don't get my files for schoolwork and my files for Shooting Star Creamery mixed up.
