We are a small, family-owned dairy farm and creamery nestled in the beautiful rolling hills near Tomales Bay, just north of San Francisco. We have been farming here for over 65 years and consider ourselves stewards of the land. We are deeply committed to producing milk and dairy products that are as close to nature as possible. Moreover we strongly believe in developing sustainable, environmentally sound practices in farming.

Our Organic Practices:

• No Hormones or Antibiotics – Organic law strictly forbids treating cows with hormones (including the infamous Bovine Growth Hormone - rBGH). We do not treat our cows with antibiotics. When necessary, we utilize homeopathy and aspirin.
• Certified Organic Land and Feed - We do not use any herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers, period!
• Environmentally Safe Plant - We work with the goals of conserving water, recycling wherever possible and strictly avoiding environmentally detrimental chemicals.
• Organic Certification - All products are produced in accordance with USDA Organic Regulations and third-party certified by Quality Assurance International (QAI).

We embrace the concept of ecobabes for one simple reason: it's the right thing to do. We can no longer idly sit on the sidelines waiting for someone else to reduce, reuse and recycle. We need to support efforts like the calendar because it reminds people that EVERY DAY is a chance for change.
