Jordan and Sarah, the farmers behind Hop Frog Farm, founded Sunrise Creamery in 2023. While they've been farming since 2021, offering certified organic microgreens and herbs to Seattle-area retailers, their passion for dairy led them to start making artisanal cheeses in the fall of 2023. Under the mentorship of Brad Gregory, formerly of Black Sheep Creamery, we produce a variety of cheeses using certified organic milk sourced locally from Onalaska, Washington. Our creamery is located in historic downtown Chehalis, and we’re currently renovating an abandoned milk parlor at Hop Frog Farm, also in Onalaska, to build an aging room. Once completed in July, this space will allow us to expand our offerings to include a wider range of hard and soft cheeses, as well as yogurt.

We’re deeply passionate about conservation and have been working to protect and enhance our farmland, as well as the ecologically important waterways that flow through our farms. Thanks to a grant from Tilth Alliance, we’re also in the process of building a composting facility to keep nutrients from our farm’s compost on the land, rather than letting them wash into the waterways.
