Annual Meeting
Annual Member's Meeting of the CA Artisan Cheese Guild will take place on January 18th, Sunday. This meeting is open to all members of the Guild and is a great way for members to meet other members, be brought up to date on Guild activities and to enjoy some wonderful cheeses.
This meeting will be held at Marissa Thornton's ranch in Tomales, Marshall Home Ranch & Dairy. This is where Bleating Heart Cheese make their amazing cheeses (including the much anticipated 4 Square)!

11:30 to 12:30--Meeting
12:30-1:15---Lunch Break
1:15-3:15--Meeting continues
3:15-4:00--Ranch Tour
NO GUESTS: This meeting is for paid members of the Guild only. Unfortunately, because of space limitations, we are unable to include guests.

ABOUT THE VENUE:
The Marshall brothers left Ireland and settled land in West Marin in 1852, establishing a dairy on their "Home Ranch" property. The dairy shut down in 2001 when the 4th generation patriarch, Gordon Thornton, passed away. In 2014 his granddaughter, 6th generation farmer Marissa Thornton, revitalized her family's old dairy on the bucolic 1,013 acre ranch. The dairy is now known as "Marshall Home Ranch & Dairy" and is the only dairy in California - maybe in the nation - that milks both sheep and jersey cows in the same facility. All of the milk is sold exclusively to the cheesemakers at Bleating Heart Cheese, who are right in the same building as the dairy, so the milk doesn't have to travel very far! Bleating Heart's microcreamery is located in a renovated portion of the dairy building which used to be the old milk house. This is where they now make around 15,000 wheels a year of their award winning "American Original" cheeses.
DRIVING DIRECTIONS:
Please note that phone reception in this region is spotty at best - you might not be able to call us if you get lost! Also, GPS devices are not always accurate out here. Therefore, we suggest you look up the location in advance, and print these directions to keep with you.....
You will turn off of Tomales-Petaluma Rd onto a little side street called Cerini Rd. There are signs for the dairy at the bottom of Cerini Rd (there are no signs for Bleating Heart). Once on Cerini Rd, proceed as follows....
*Drive all the way to the end of Cerini until it basically dead ends. You might think you are lost, but just keep driving.
*You will cross 3 cattle guards and go past several houses and a horse barn along the way.
*The 2nd cattle guard is marked 1599, that is the property line - keep driving. Eventually you will come upon a weathered red barn. Go just past that barn, turn left and park in the designated area.
