As a small family farm it is our mission is to support the local economy. Our products are only available at the farmers' markets we attend, or through small businesses that we deliver to directly. We formed partnerships with a local brewery and two vineyards to utilize some of their by products in our cheesemaking as well. Please support these business as they are making a true effort to support local farms. |

Reyes Station, a picturesque postage-stamp-of-a-town on the coast about an hour north of San Francisco. They started with an old barn, made it beautiful, put in a small plant for making hand-crafted cheese, bought organic milk from the neighbor, Straus Family Creamery... and before long the world found them! From the beginning, they wanted to make delicious, artisan cheese, to be environmentally responsible, and they also wanted to support their cheesemaking friends in being sustainable land stewards. Today, Cowgirl Creamery continues to make just a small collection of cheese – four, soft aged and three fresh, totaling about 3,000 pounds per week. However, their circle of cheesemaking friends has grown like wildfire and they now distribute extraordinary artisan cheeses from over 60 of America's and Europe's most prized producers.
