Which makes sense as we ended up purchasing more cheeses. Their cheeses, all taste so fresh and creamy- we picked up some Tallegio, Raclette & Foggy Morning with garlic & herbs. All of their cheeses are made from 100% organic cows milk and you can tell the difference in quality. Next time we'll come a Thursday through Sunday as they have fresh baked bread on those days.

We attended an incredible Yelp Event here last Fall and fell in love with the cheese, food,…read morescenery, and hospitality so wanted to return with a cheese-loving friend for a reserved cheese tasting. It was a $20 corkage fee for the table, which was waived when purchasing a $24 set of insulated tumblers, so it was easy to enjoy the prosecco and red wine we brought from home with our cheese boards & bring some souvenirs home. We also ordered mac and cheese, salad, and soup. One of the staff Sarah shared the history of the family owned Farmstead, as well as their current farming practices. We found it most interesting that they use Agricultural Methane energy, in which manure is pumped into tanks, bacteria breaks down the waste, and the captured methane is piped to a generator to produce the farm's electricity. They are also using solar power, so a very eco-friendly place! All the cheese & food was delicious and our friendly server (Sarah's daughter who was a delight) provided complimentary soft serve to end a perfect afternoon. We even had leftovers to take home! My friend was blissfully happy. Thank you, Point Reyes Farmstead team for a beautiful experience!

My friend organized a private weekday tour and tasting here to celebrate my birthday. Our group of…read more7 had a fantastic time! it started with a presentation on the overview and history of this family farm, then a tour of the cheesemaking facilities and barn where the dairy and beef cows hang out. We met their farm dogs, took photos with the sweet cows, and saw the family working around the property. We then ended with a tasting of their products: cheese, curds, and kefir (all delicious!) Since it was a birthday party, my friend brought a picnic lunch which we enjoyed along with the cheese. We ended by choosing to buy a selection of the cheeses we liked, to take home and share. I was thrilled to find they sell at my local farmers market - I plan to buy more of the Herby Curds when I've run out of cheese next!

My husband and two kids did the farm tour this weekend. While it was very interesting to get such a…read moreclose up view of a family owned and run working dairy farm, I do not recommend this tour for families. While they sell discounted tickets for kids 5-12 and kids under 5 are free, we and all the other families there found the tour to be a real struggle for our little ones. We all felt a little misled about the experience based on the online description. It's a lot of standing very still (in rooms with equipment that shouldn't be contaminated by guests, or next to equipment that has cow poop on it), listening to the owner talk for long stretches. We expected more movement around the farm and time outdoors, instead of something closer to a lecture with a large group in tight spaces. It also ran over time (to 2 hours!) ending with a nice close up visit with the cows and some small cheese samples. We did really enjoy meeting the cows and learning the details of how cheese making works. It is a real labor of love. I think there's a lot of potential here; the Achadinha tour has all the ingredients for an awesome visit but could use some editing. This tour could easily be 30 minutes, an hour tops. We would've liked to stay and buy some cheese but by 1pm we were all starving and fled to find lunch elsewhere. Other parents shared they would've had a great time there on a date, but definitely wouldn't go with small kids again. I'll also flag that they require you to step through a decontamination footbath to go inside the facilities. There were a lot of miserable people in sandals who had to get their feet wet in the chemicals. Closed toed shoes that can get wet recommended for this tour.

Super easy to eat, they are a zesty crisp snack that left no greasy crumbs on my hands. Easy and simple ingredients - cheese (milk, salt, enzymes, annatto), brown rice, oat bran, quinoa and garlic. Yeah, there's some stuff in there that isn't keto but the serving size of ONE BAG has only 9 grams of carbs. Considering that the line is somewhere around 20 grams, I think it's good enough. I didn't have to eat the whole bag - it's alot - so maybe next time I'll try to save some. These are going on a shopping list for future purchase!

Customer Service: 5/5 We had amazing customer service here. The gentleman working was extremely personable. He brought out a platter of samples for us to try of different cheeses and butter and he taught the kids some Spanish in the process! He made the whole experience much more fun!

My only suggestion is regarding food handling. I noticed that employees hand the ice cream cone directly by touching the cone with their bare hands. Since customers eat that part of the cone, it would be much more hygienic if staff used a napkin or wore gloves when handling it. Overall, it's a wonderful place with excellent products, and I hope they consider this small improvement to make the customer experience even better.
