cow on pasture

the farm

a model for sustainable agriculture

For 66 years, our family has tended this land with a simple belief: healthy soil and happy cows make exceptional milk. What began in 1959 when our parents purchased the farm has grown into a four-generation commitment to sustainable agriculture that honors both our legacy and our responsibility to the future.

Our 720 acres of coastal pastures aren't just beautiful—they're the foundation of everything we do. Through regenerative practices like rotational grazing and no-till seeding, we've created an ecosystem where our cows thrive on diverse grasses and plants that capture carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the soil. Twenty-five percent of the herd's diet comes directly from our land, from coastal rye grasses we harvest as silage each spring. This deep connection to place gives our cheese its distinctive character—a true expression of Point Reyes terroir.

Cow comfort is paramount. Our state-of-the-art robotic milking systems allow our cows to be milked on their own schedule, reducing stress while giving us detailed health data on each animal. Combined with our pasture-based approach, we're able to provide care that respects both the cows’ wellbeing and their role in our sustainable farm ecosystem.

This farm has sustained our family across generations. We feel honored and obliged to respect it in every way possible—not only as a legacy to pass to our children, but as an example of farming that promotes healthy food, healthy animals, and a healthy environment for everyone.
