Sustainability
We are passionate about making great cheese to the highest standards, and we’re committed to investing in the kind of changes necessary to make a positive impact on our community.
Growth Requires Growth
As demand for our cheese grew around the country, a larger and more energy-efficient creamery became a necessity. The recent expansion exceeds California Green Building Standards Code and several non-mandatory provisions to encourage energy conservation and promote green practices.
Model Dairy
The Cypress Grove dairy is designed and managed primarily with the health and happiness of our herd in mind. Our animals have access to both pasture and well-ventilated, naturally-lit indoor areas — not to mention enough space and time for loafing between milkings to make our cheesemakers jealous. We even jokingly refer to the dairy as the “country club.” But don’t take our word for it; the American Humane Association endorsed our model dairy as Humane Certified with a 100 percent score three years running.
What We Are Doing
We’re committed to taking specific, measurable actions that will improve our sustainability and inspire others to do the same.
