Tomales Bay Foods resides in Point Reyes Station and hosts the famed Cowgirl Creamery.

A look into the world of cheesemaking reveals a stack of milk canisters from Straus Family Creamery in nearby Marshall, which supplies the raw ingredient for Cowgirl’s luscious cheeses.

Behind glass, cheesemakers work the curds.

There were wheels of fresh cheese as far as my camera lens could see.

Sure, they had premium cheeses for sale from around the world, but the real draw was local…

Here are all the fresh Cowgirl Creamery cheeses; there was one off the menu item, paneer, which was recently served to Prince Charles and Camila on their trip to NoCal. I was given a sample, and it was delicious, but it wasn’t for sale.

Half wheels of the Pierce Pt, Red Hawk, and Mt Tam, with the official Cowgirl Creamery cheese knife, sold for $1 by the register.

Here are the exposed half-wheels of Pierce Pt, Red Hawk and Mt Tam cheeses, moments from consumption.

Not surprisingly, Cowgirl Creamery even makes their own crackers, which are great with their cheeses.

Hours:
Wednesday - Sunday, 10 AM - 6 PM
