About

In 2003, David and Tamara purchased 160 acres of rolling pasture a few miles from Tomales Bay and dubbed them Toluma Farms. In 2012, after several years of intensive land restoration, Tomales Farmstead Creamery was born.

The family raises several animal breeds recognized for their high-quality milk, including Alpine, La Mancha, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, and Toggenburg dairy goats and East Friesian sheep. The creamery’s award-winning farmstead cheeses are produced exclusively with milk from Animal Welfare Approved herds raised on certified organic pastures.
