Pescadero goats are the sole remaining coastside dairy


By on Sun, August 22, 2004

Harley Farms in Pescadero is producing award-winning goat cheese with "daringly old-school methods", according to Santa Cruz Metro.

Subversive farmstead practices abound—pasture-fed goats, hand-sewn cheesecloth, farm-raised edible flowers and award-winning fresh cheese that, from udder to package, is ready for market in just 2 1/2 days.

Although dairy was the largest part of San Mateo’s agriculture in the thirties and forties, Harley Farms is the only coastal dairy from Sebastopol to Monterey.
