Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Achadinha Cheese Company is family-operated and is a ranch that began three generations ago and has been in Petaluma since 1969. This is when they started raising goats and cows to make farmstead cheeses. There are about 60 cows and 250 goats, with most cheeses including a blend of milks. The animals pasture on 230 acres of land and eat yeast and brewers’ grain from local breweries plus whey, oat, and alfalfa for a balanced diet. There are no pesticides or hormones. Additionally, the farm follows the animals’ natural cycles, only making straight goat cheese when the goats are not pregnant. The ranch also has chickens, pigs, sheep, beef cows, horses, cats, dogs, and ducks. You can take a tour of the farm and Achadinha Cheese Company, but by appointment only. You can even sign up for a cheesemaking class. Those who want to try the cheese can find it at dozens of local farmer’s markets or order it online to be delivered right to your house.
