Producer

We are a farmstead creamery raising Nigerian Dwarf and La Mancha goats. They browse every day on our still wild land – munching on salal, Douglas fir and blackberry brambles. We choose this work because we love the farming life and because we want to share it with people everywhere. Mount Rainer is 25 miles west of our farm, we’re in the foothills, and when “the mountain’s out", we’re looking right at it. Because it is such a focal point in our lives, we’ve named a majority of our cheeses after that beautiful volcano.

Our farm moves in step with nature and the timeless rhythms of rural life. It’s a place where animals are well cared for and passionate artisans make award-winning cheeses by hand. We’ve developed cheeses to highlight and take advantage of the flavor profile inherent in our herd. We don’t like to toss around the word “terroir,” but taste of place is what we are all about. Our animals’ milk composition, taste, and blend is closely monitored depending on the cheese we are trying to make. Honoring the long European history of our cheeses with a grateful nod to classic technique is important to us but we yearn to keep evolving. We really focus a lot of love on these animals and we think that our healthy happy herd gives us the best milk in the world.
