David Asher Rotsztain is an organic farmer, goatherd and farmstead cheese maker on the Gulf Islands of British Columbia. A guerrilla cheese maker, David explores traditionally cultured, non-corporate methods of cheese making. Though mostly self-taught, he picked up his cheese skills from various teachers, including a Brown Swiss cow named Sundae on Cortes Island.

David offers cheese outreach to communities through cheese making workshops in partnerships with food-sovereignty-minded organizations all across North America, including The UBC Farm. His workshops teach a cheese making method that is natural, DIY, and well suited to any home kitchen. David has been teaching cheese making for over seven years.
