Shipping Policy - For Cheese Orders

Point Reyes Farmstead and The Fork at Point Reyes make every effort possible to ensure your complete satisfaction. While cheese from Point Reyes Farmstead makes a superior gift for Holidays, Birthdays & Celebrations, we strongly
suggest that you notify your intended gift recipient ahead of time, so that your gift may be expected and opened IMMEDIATELY upon arrival, and of course - REFRIGERATED UPON RECEIPT.

During the checkout process, you will be prompted to select a requested delivery date, Tuesday–Friday, up to 60 days in the future. This is perfect for shopping ahead of time for holidays, birthdays, or special occasions. Orders ship via
Fed Ex Overnight, one day before your requested delivery date. Most orders arrive on the target date, but sometimes it may arrive a day early or take an extra day to arrive. If you're planning a party, choose a day or two early to be safe. 

 We are not responsible for incorrect addresses. Please make sure that your shipping address and/or your gift recipients' addresses are 100% accurate.
Address correction fees will be charged if assessed by Fed Ex. Do not enter PO Boxes for shipping purposes - Fed Ex only delivers to physical addresses.

We do not require signatures upon delivery of shipments. Recipients may, however, have a "signature release only" policy on file Point Reyes Farmstead is not responsible for damaged or expired cheese if shipments are deemed undeliverable due to said policy.

We PROUDLY use 100% eco-conscious packaging material!

Your cheese will ship in a recyclable cardboard box with backyard compostable, biodegradable and water soluble Green Cell Foam insulation. Green Cell Foam is made from cornstarch and matches the performance of petroleum
based styrofoam. Additionally, the manufacturing of Green Cell Foam requires 70% less energy and produces 80% less greenhouse gases than petroleum based foams. For more information, including a video tutorial on how to
dispose of Green Cell Foam, visit
