• About Garden Variety Cheese
  
  Garden Variety Cheese is a small farmstead cheese business based in Northern Monterey County on 40-acre Monkeyflower Ranch. We began commercial milking and cheese production in March 2009. Our sheep produce lovely, rich, sweet milk that makes fabulous cheese and yogurt. Each ewe is named after a garden flower and treated with love and respect. Our dairy sheep are seasonal producers–each individual only gives milk for about six to ten months per year. We stagger the breeding of our 80 ewes to have fresh milk for yogurt throughout the year. To ensure the health and well-being of the animals and the high quality of the milk and cheese from Garden Variety Cheese, the milking ewes here at Monkeyflower Ranch are fed on fresh pasture, alfalfa hay, and organic brewer’s grain from Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing and organic grain from Modesto Milling. We do not use chemical wormers or antibiotics, but rely on rotational grazing, concentrated garlic juice, and other natural methods to keep our animals healthy.
