Regenerative & Single Source Italian Style Cheese
from seed-to-cheese
We are farmers and artisan cheesemakers in Ferndale, Washington, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We are known for being a seed-to-cheese farm, using milk we produce from cows we raise, fed from the crops that we grow.
We make authentic heritage cheese from Italy, using techniques taught to us by the artisans, technicians, and food scientists of that country. With their help we are able to bring heirloom cultures and enzymes over from a small culture house near Naples. In doing so, you can be sure there is no better representation than Ferndale Farmstead when it comes to these age-old culinary staples.
Our cheeses come to life under the principles of old-world cheesemaking, with a focus always on purity and flavor. All handmade in a closed-loop system right where the animals live.
Three generations of the Wavrin Family, proud owners of Ferndale Farmstead.

OUR CHEESEs
Our cheeses are traditional Italian family specialties made using our own milk, made to give you a taste-of-place like no other. We craft both fresh and aged cheeses - from nutty and hard Asiago to creamy and fresh Ciliegine - using our seed-to-cheese process.
OUR PROCESS
SEED in our SOIL to the GRASS in our FIELDS to FEED our cows that we MILK to make the CHEESE on your TABLE
This is our Seed-to-Cheese process. It's not only the way through which every handcrafted cheese we produce comes to life, but it is an important part of our value system.
OUR PEOPLE
Three generations of the Wavrin Family have come together to form the Ferndale Farmstead. Our Italian team of cheesemakers, artisans, and experts inspire everything we do.
