What an amazing experience!…read more For $40, you get to explore the farm, meet baby goats, learn more about the milk and cheese process, and enjoy a fantastic charcuterie board at the end. The goats are adorable. They are not scared of people at all. They ran up to us when we entered their area, and even withstood the hands of excited kids. The sheep were curious and bleated a lot. It was really informative to see the sheep being milked, and learning about the cheese-making process. It's clear that everyone involved in this operation is passionate about animals and farm life. The owners, Tamara and David, were so nice to talk to. I especially liked that they acknowledged the native land and are committed to reducing waste as much as possible, from having the water go up to the irrigation system, to make a delicious bagel chips from their stale bagels. The charcuterie experience at the end was so tasty. They give so much food, and you can also buy more cheese just to bring home. We got a block for $15. It was cool to eat the cheese when you literally saw the process of its creation minutes prior. You're able to bring doggie bags home as well. Don't even get me started on how beautiful the house is. I cannot recommend visiting this farm enough. It's great to go on a date, with family, friends, kids, etc. Make a trip out of it and visit Hog Island Oysters, the Point Reyes Lighthouse, Brickmaiden Breads, or other great businesses in the area!

It was such a fun experience to pick ourselves too. There was delicious raspberry lemonade and popsicles too! Would definitely recommend and we'll be back next season.

A really fun stop for a family outing!…read more The raspberries are really delicious, and I love that the farm is organic so you feel good feeding your loved ones. The prices are $12 a pound, which seem fair considering you're paying $7-8 for a small 6 oz pack in the grocery store. Plus, you can't beat picking them fresh. There's a pond and picnic area to enjoy your fresh picked raspberries or a packed lunch, if you want to make an afternoon out of it. Not a lot of shade on the property, so if you go on a hot day be prepared with water at hats.

While Dear Hubby and I were in Sonoma County for a quick trip, we had free time on Sunday to get out into the backroads and check out a few apple farms. Hale's is close to Santa Rosa, which made it convenient. They were decked out for Halloween, with various areas sporting giant spider figures, scarecrows, skeletons, and much more. Autumn décor, including pumpkins and apples were definitely part of the scene. Adjacent to their barn they had a station set up with very helpful staff offering samples of various varieties of apples. I loved that they had a number of the favorites I've experienced in SoCal's apple haven of Oak Glen (near Yucaipa). Yes, to Mutsu! Cameo! They also had others that I hadn't heard of, and already can't recall their names. Oh good, I found a chart online - Northern Spy is one I tried and bought. Sundance, maybe? Yikes! Hale's claims to grow 30 different varieties, and good for them. Good for you! An apple a day keeps the doctor away, as the old saying goes. No doctors for me for now - I'm enjoying usually one apple for breakfast and one for lunch. Hale's has kept me going for two weeks now. We especially enjoyed taking in their ambiance with my brother and sister-in-law, who live nearby, but hadn't been before. A great place to visit with family! If you're in the area, stop on by and enjoy the fresh air, the friendly folks helping you taste and purchase the goodness of Sonoma County fruit.

We decided to stop by on our way to the Charles Schultz Museum and looked for the signs along the…read morehighway with the added help of our gps. It led us down a dirt path wide enough for only one car to pass and we came to a very old barn at the end with a super tiny building where the cheese was stored and a small counter where the goods were sold! A lady who speaks Spanish and only enough English to sell a chunk of cheese arrived on the scene to give us samples of 3, 9 and 14 month aged cheese. Each cheese was progressively more firm the longer it was aged. Wowww! I didn't even know what I had been missing out on until now. All these years, I have missed out on fresh cheese made straight from a milked cow on a farm! Who knew there was such a difference?? Our very favorite was the 3 month old cheese. So creamy, fresh, soft and perfect in every way. Best cheese I've ever had, even better cheese than we we've had in Wisconsin. I don't know if I can ever appreciate supermarket cheese again. Cheese was $10/lb. We initially bought half a pound, then we brought it to the museum and nearly finished the whole chunk before we were craving for more and decided to go back for another pound! It was that good! The detour added another 45 mins of traffic to our journey but we felt it was worth it. If you're ever in the area, stop by to grab a pound or more of cheese! The only problem we had was that we didn't know how to store it. We refrigerated it and I'm not sure if we were supposed to do that bc the cheese ended up getting pretty hard :(. But we couldn't ask how to store it properly and for how long because the lady didn't speak enough English.

It was a small room with one lady there just ready to sell you the cheese lol. Follow signs for Cheese Factory. When you see the Cheese Factory sign on a window with a business hours sign, you are there! Park in the dirt randomly - there are no clear indications of parking spots or a parking lot. Which is why I knocked off one star, my poor car had to drive through manure because I drove in too far lol and now I need a car wash. Learn from my mistakes! Highly recommend the tasty cheese and feels good to support a local farm.

With covid-19... I was truly disappointed I couldn't celebrate my mother and wanted to "recreate" the experience. I could not find one of their cheese and so contacted them about buying directly. They had set up a "direct to consumer" route-- were extremely helpful in determining when to order, communicated when it was shipped- and it arrived today perfectly packaged to remain cool! In these new times--- I was not only thoroughly impressed with their adaptation but being able to get what I needed with friendly help was MORE than appreciated. My Mother's Day surprise basket is only going to be possible because of their help!!! I'll just have to order a big wheel for myself next time!!
