ABOUT CASCADIA CREAMERY

Cascadia Creamery is located in the foothills of Mt Adams (Pahto) near the town of Trout Lake, Washington. Rich volcanic soils, temperate weather and plenty of rain provide lush grazing meadows for our cows. Combined with a strong tradition of organic farming, Trout Lake is the ideal location to craft our raw artisan cheeses.

The creamery was born from the desire to rebirth a 126 year old tradition of cheese making in the Trout Lake Valley. This tradition was lost in the 50's when the last cheese maker closed up shop. Dairying has remained a key factor in the local economy, hosting three large organic dairies. Cascadia Creamery brings back the rich tradition of cheese making in the artesian handmade style.

Cascadia Creamery is a family run operation. John is the head cheese maker and herdsman, Marci (wife) is the office and marketing manager, Candice (mom) is an assistant cheese maker, and Eric (brother) is webmaster. Let’s not forget Rowan (age 4) who loves handing out samples at tasting events and helping Papa clean up, especially if it involves spraying anything with the hose. The stars of the show are our six organically certified cows (Maggie, Rosie, Co-Co, Tiny, Susie and Bessie) boarded at a small organic dairy down the road.
