About Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company
In 1959 Bob and Dean Giacomini established their sustainable dairy just north of Point Reyes Station, CA. In 2000, together with their daughters, the family began making cheese on the farm with milk from their own herd of Holsteins. In 2010, they opened The Fork, a culinary and educational center offering farm-to-table educational experiences for both consumers and the trade. Three of the Giacomini sisters, Diana, Lynn and Jill now own and run the WBENC-certified, 100% women-owned company that is recognized internationally as an award-winning producer of best-in-class, hand-crafted, artisan cheese. With production locations on the farm and in nearby Petaluma, the Point Reyes Farmstead product line contains Original Blue, Bay Blue, Toma, TomaProvence, TomaTruffle, TomaRashi, Gouda, Quinta, Truffle Brie and Fennel Blue. The product line is available nationally at independent cheese shops and specialty grocers, at The Fork, Bay-Area farmers’ markets and online at www.pointreyescheese.com.
