Harley Farms is a restored 1910 dairy farm, with 200 alpine goats on nine acres of pasture in Pescadero, California. The farm grew from six pet goats to today's herd, with their delicious, critically-acclaimed cheese. In 2011 they purchased the neighboring fields with an historic barn, a hidden orchard and an overgrown garden which is being restored. The Harley Farms chevre, fromage blanc, ricotta and feta cheeses have been consistent winners at the American Cheese Society awards, and hold two international World Cheese Show medals. Visitors may stroll into the farm to see goats and llamas in paddocks and pastures. In the spring, there are often lively babies in Tony's Pen and in the picnic field corral. Don't miss the hayloft with our magnificent fir table and carved chairs, where parties and farm dinners are hosted. The Cheese Shop at the dairy features ricotta, feta, chevre and fromage blanc cheeses, plus a luxurious range of goat milk lotions and soaps, jellies and honey. Make a picnic basket and relax at the outdoor tables.
