Support our local cheesemakers on every visit to your neighborhood farmers market. We are very fortunate to live in such a beautiful place with easy access to many fine producers of hand-crafted fresh and aged cheeses.
Appel Farms Cheese
Here at Appel Farms we make our cheese by hand. It's a family business, so the whole family pitches in, including the kids. Sustainable agriculture practices use resources efficiently and effectively. Appel makes several varieties of fresh and aged cheeses.
Beecher's Cheese
The Beecher's credo says it best: "Food produced by Beecher's Handmade Cheese is free of all artificial preservatives, coloring and flavor enhancers. It's just pure, all-natural, full-flavored food, handcrafted in traditional ways with the freshest ingredients available."
Estrella Family Creamery
Estrella Family Creamery’s is a family owned and operated grass-based dairy. Estrella makes over eighteen different types of handcrafted cow and goat milk cheeses, with seasonal variations. Estrella’s award-winning cheeses are made with raw milk from animals grazed in organically maintained pastures.
Golden Glen Creamery
Golden Glen Creamery is a small family farm that has been producing only the highest quality milk for over 40 years. In 2004 began a cheese business, known today as Golden Glen Creamery, selling cheddar, Gouda, feta, mozzarella, and butter. In October 2006, we began bottling milk products in glass.
Mt. Townsend Creamery
Mt. Townsend Creamery is founded on the belief that Pacific Northwest dairy is a regional treasure. The Olympic Peninsula has a rich dairy history. Its rolling landscape and rocky soils are more suited to grazing than tilling, a tradition that the small family run dairies there have practiced for the last 150 years.
Port Madison
Port Madison Goat Farm and Dairy on Bainbridge Island is very selective in sourcing alfalfa directly from growers to feed their goats. Their goat cheeses are made in small batches and the terroir of the farm contributes to the flavor of the yogurt and fresh and ripened cheeses unique to Port Madison Farm.
River Valley Cheese
River Valley Cheese produces raw cow and goat milk cheese, as well as a full-flavored Wild West Mozzarella, containing water buffalo, yak and cow milk. River Valley herds spend the day grazing on fresh pasture, alfalfa and blackberry thickets and are also fed spent barley recycled from Pike Brewery!
Samish Bay Cheese
Since 1999, Samish Bay Cheese has been producing organic farmstead cheese in the Skagit Valley. Samish Bay cows graze on organic grass, grain, and clover grown on the farm. Their milk is used to produce several types of organic fresh and aged cheeses.
Sea Breeze Farm
Sea Breeze Farm is a diverse, multi-species, grass-based animal farm practicing intensive pasture rotation. The resulting meat, dairy and eggs are remarkably flavorful, gorgeously colored and fantastically healthful. Sea Breeze produces a classic cellar-aged Tomme.
Willapa Hills Farmstead Cheese
Willapa Hills handcrafts the highest quality all natural farmstead and artisan cheese including fresh and aged sheep milk and cow milk cheeses and several blue cheeses. Three generations of the Turnbull family are intimately involved in the daily practice and art of farming and cheese making.
