About Us

About us

Sierra Nevada Cheese Company was founded by Ben Gregersen and John Dundon, two friends who discovered a shared passion for crafting the very best in dairy and cheese while working for Ben’s father. What began at farmers markets and natural food stores has grown into a brand celebrated for its commitment to quality, sustainability, and tradition. From Grass-Fed, Organic, and Raw Milk Cheeses to Goat Yogurt, Cream Cheese, and Cultured Butter, every product we create reflects our dedication to using time-honored techniques and sourcing milk from sustainable family farms. We don’t take shortcuts or imitate—we give every product the time it needs to deliver the exceptional flavor and quality you deserve.

Our Mission

We’re here to sustain farming families, preserve the tradition of pasture-based dairy farming, and celebrate the wholesomeness of dairy. At Sierra Nevada Cheese, we honor the art of true culturing, giving our award-winning products the time they need to develop rich, authentic flavors. By blending tradition with quality, we deliver exceptional dairy to your table while supporting the farmers who make it all possible.

A Legacy of

Cheesemaking

Since 1997, Sierra Nevada Cheese Company has been dedicated to crafting exceptional cheese using traditional methods and the highest quality milk. What began as a small operation selling at farmers markets quickly grew into a celebrated brand rooted in the heart of Glenn County’s rural milkshed.

Today, we proudly operate in a renovated 1958 creamery in Willows, California, where we continue to honor the legacy of cheesemaking. With the addition of a Distribution Center, new offices, and a retail store, we’ve created a true "cheese destination." Through passion, innovation, and respect for time-honored techniques, we carry forward our mission of delivering dairy products that reflect our heritage and commitment to excellence.

Our

Farmers

Sierra Nevada Cheese proudly calls the Glenn County milkshed home, sourcing milk exclusively from small family dairies. We are fortunate to partner with farmers dedicated to preserving pasture-based farming, embracing the time-honored benefits of this traditional dairy management style. As one of the first creameries to pay a premium for rBST-free milk, we remain committed to sourcing the highest quality milk for our products. The care and dedication of our farmers are reflected in the exceptional quality of our everyday dairy offerings.
