Overview
A 160-acre goat and sheep dairy farm with an on-site creamery producing seasonal farmstead cheeses.
Toluma Farms is a 160-acre goat and sheep dairy and educational farm in Marin County. Tamara Hicks and David Jablons began stewarding the land in 2003, opened the farm as a goat and sheep dairy in 2007, and launched Tomales Farmstead Creamery in 2013. The creamery produces seasonal farmstead cheeses from goat, sheep, and Jersey cow milk, with several cheese names drawn from the Coast Miwok language. Named cheeses include Kenne, Atika, Teleeka, Liwa, Koto'la, and Bossy, with multiple Good Food Award and American Cheese Society Award wins across the line. Cheese is available at an honor-system Airstream Farm Shop on-site, at Bay Area farmers markets, and through retail and restaurant accounts. The farm also hosts tours, farmstays, retreats, and volunteer opportunities. Learn more on their About Page.
Toluma Farms raises 80 sheep and 200 goats on pastures, rotating them regularly to graze and roam. The animals are Animal Welfare Approved, and 150 acres of the farm are certified organic by Marin Organic Certified Agriculture (MOCA). Animals are milked once a day, and their young stay with them for at least six weeks. The creamery also sources Jersey cow milk from a neighboring family farm. The farmland has been protected under the Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT) since 2010. In 2015, Toluma Farms was selected by the Marin Carbon Project for a Carbon Farm Plan, and in 2017 received a USDA Healthy Soil grant to plant native windbreaks and apply compost to pastures to support carbon sequestration and wildlife habitat.
