Ferndale Farmstead makes authentic Italian heritage cheese from seed to cheese in Ferndale, Washington — three generations of the Wavrin family growing the crops, raising the cows, and handcrafting fresh ciliegine to aged asiago with heirloom cultures imported from a small culture house near Naples. The closed-loop farmstead's cheese stand is open daily, with distribution across Pacific Northwest specialty retailers and restaurants.

Seasonal educational programs and field trips teach sheep dairying and regenerative farming.

Samish Bay Cheese is Suzanne and Roger Wechsler's certified organic dairy on 200 acres in the northwest corner of Skagit County, below Mount Blanchard — a mixed herd of mostly Milking Shorthorns behind the farm's cheese, yogurt, and labneh, plus farm-raised beef, pork, and veal. The Bow Hill Road farm shop is open daily with local wine, cider, honey, and artisan goods, and orders ship or meet buyers at farmers markets and Seattle drops.
