Bivalve Creamery’s Foundry Fresh: A soft, spreadable fresh cheese, Foundry Fresh comes from organic cows who, as heifers (young teenage cows), graze here at our ranch, often making guest appearances in wedding photos. John and Karen Taylor make this delicious fresh cheese in Petaluma, at the small-scale cheese facility originally built by Cowgirl Creamery. Pro Tip: Fresh cheeses can be eaten now, or you can freeze them for later. Certified organic. Ingredients: Pasteurized Organic Milk, Sea Salt, Cheese Culture and Enzymes. Weight: 8oz.
Cowgirl Creamery’s Heart’s Desire: This is Cowgirl’s famous Mt. Tam cheese, in a limited edition Valentine’s Day heart. Our love for Cowgirl is more than rind-deep. Our friend Sue Conley (co-founder) helped launch our family’s organic dairy odyssey, Straus Family Creamery; and our mom (Ellen) even provided the inspiration for the ‘Cowgirl’ name in the first place. Ingredients: Straus Family Creamery’s Organic pasteurized cow’s milk, organic pasteurized cream, salt, cultures & enzymes. Weight ~10oz.
Mutari Chocolates’ West Coast Seasonal Truffle Collection: Our dear friend Katy Oursler and her partner Stephen make these award-winning, small batch chocolates, sourcing ethically traded cacao directly from farmers. Our collection features four truffles (the truffles in the main collection photo were poser stand-ins - see closeup photo for actual Mutari truffles!)
Straus Home Ranch Flour Sack Towel with Mom’s Kooky Cows: Our mom’s amazing talents were legendary - from co-founding the Marin Agricultural Land Trust, and serving on countless environmental organizations, to making incredible lemon cheesecake and, in her free time, creating lyrical artwork which we’ve always loved. Her cow figurines always graced the wall of our ranch house kitchen, and we think you’ll love them as much as we do! 18” x 28” with lots of cows (and lots of love).
Cheese Tasting on Zoom: Learn from our in-house artisan cheese and organic dairy expert, Vivien Straus, creator of The Cheese Trail (and a former educator at Cowgirl Creamery, as well as former VP Marketing at Straus Family Creamery). We’ll email you a Zoom link, date and time. Live only, will not be recorded.
