Farmstead sheep cheese and yogurt

Garden Variety Cheese is a small farmstead cheese business based out of Northern Monterey County on the 40 acre Monkeyflower Ranch. Our sheep produce lovely, rich sweet milk that makes fabulous cheese.

To ensure the health and well-being of the animals and the high quality of the milk and cheese from Garden Variety Cheese, the 100 milking ewes here at Monkeyflower Ranch are fed on fresh pasture, alfalfa hay and organic brewer's grain from Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing. Each ewe is named after a garden flower and treated with love and respect.

We produce a number of award-winning aged cheeses as well as sheep yogurt, fresh ricotta and fromage blanc.

We also produce delicious whey-fed pork and lamb meat, available seasonally.

By pre-paying upfront you would help us to extend our yogurt production to at least 10 months a year, and to expand sales of our yogurt to retail outlets in the Bay Area.
