Cypress Grove founder Mary Keehn began raising goats in the 1970s to provide her family with healthful milk – in 1983, she took that milk to the next level and created Cypress Grove Chevre, a forerunner in the American artisanal cheese movement. Today Cypress Grove, in Humboldt County, works with small local farms to gather the best goat milk California has to offer, and turns that milk into products that represent the gold standard of fine cheese in the U.S.
