Forty years ago, in Santa Rosa, California, a modest week-long event in March marked the beginnings of Women’s History Month. We take pride in the fact that this commemorative tradition originated so close to our Petaluma production site. Today, it spans the entirety of March, honoring the enduring legacy of strong-willed women who've faced challenges and paved the path towards gender equality. In 2019, Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company proudly received official certification from The Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the foremost authority in certifying business owners and entrepreneurs. Alongside this, we were also granted Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) certification
Throughout the month of March, we had the pleasure of chatting with women in business we admire and love to work with. Through pod-cast style interviews, we found out more about how they got their start, what motivates them, their mentors and more! We invite you to join us in raising a glass (or perhaps a wedge of cheese!) to women entrepreneurs everywhere because from our perspective, women who support other women are the very best kind, and there is always room at the table for greatness!
