About

PRFC is owned and operated by the Giacominis, a third-generation ranching family. The family began cheese production in August of 2000, with their flagship farmstead cheese, Original Blue. Their 65-year-old farm is home to 450 milking Holsteins. About 25% of the cow’s feed is grown on the farm, and the other 75% is sourced from California farms. The Fork, their culinary event and education center, offers farm tours, tastings, and farm dinners and brunches. Operating on MALT protected land, and as a Leopold Conservation Award recipient, PRFCC prides itself in sustainability, humane practices, and being WBENC Certified Women-Owned.

Certification
