About Point Reyes Cheese Farmstead Cheese Company
In 1959 Bob and Dean Giacomini established their sustainable dairy farm along Highway 1, just north of Point Reyes Station. In

In 2010, the family 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
