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 farm raises a herd of Animal Welfare Approved goats consisting of several breeds recognized for their high-quality milk, including Alpine, La Mancha, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, and Toggenburg dairy goats. The creamery’s award-winning cheeses are produced with farmstead goat milk and also use milk from a local Jersey cow dairy.

Sourcing

The creamery’s farmstead cheeses are produced exclusively with milk from Animal Welfare Approved herds raised on certified organic pastures.
