Central Valley - Loop #3
Starting in the town of Clovis, book online for a Saturday visit to Rocky Oaks Goat Creamery, where you can visit with the goats, get a cheese tasting and purchase cheese. Occasionally, they even have a goat yoga class (ooh!). From there, it’s a short hop to Raw Farm, a raw cow dairy. Again, make sure to check their website before heading out to find tour information and shop hours. And finally, head another half an hour south to Vintage Cheese, a mini-Knotts Berry Farm with antiques and junktiques, animals and a shop full of goodies, picnic tables. If you’re there at the right time, you can watch cheesemaking through the window.
Rocky Oaks Goat Creamery
Joel and Margie Weber founded Rocky Oaks Goat Creamery as the Central Valley's original provider of unique, hand-crafted goat cheese for those who enjoy the taste of fresh quality and refined goat cheese.
Raw Farm USA
In the late 1990s the McAfee family made the decision to farm the entire property that is now the green pastures for Raw Farm USA. Cows are milked in the pasture using a mobile milk barn. The farm became organic in early 2000.
Vintage Cheese Company
This California-based small business specializes in open-vat, hand-crafted cheeses made with time-honored, farmstead-style practices.
