OUR FARM: Mountain View Jerseys is a 640 acre dairy farm in Western Sonoma County, continuously operated by the same family since 1918. Overlooking the unique waters and wetlands of the Estero Americano in Valley Ford, its lush, rolling pastures have been home to five generations of the Bianchi/Grossi dairy families, practicing sustainable agriculture as our ancestors did in the Ticino district on the Swiss-Italian border for so many generations past.

 Our farmstead cheese comes from a “closed” herd that is dedicated to top quality health and nutrition programs. We milk over 400 Jersey cows daily, continuing with outstanding genetics for longevity and productivity. We use the sustainable practices our great grandparents brought with them, and taught us, knowing sustainability is our future. It is our job to work closely with nature to grow our crops, produce a healthy dairy product and protect our earth’s resources.

 Our location allows tourists driving by to enjoy the beauty and appreciate the scenery of the dairy, the open fields and the fresh air. We are working with many local and state organizations:
Sonoma County Farm Bureau, Dairy Quality Assurance Program, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation, the Milk Advisory Board, and the California Cheese Board, among others.

 * Meets the Humane Farm Animal Care Program standards
which include nutritious diet without antibiotics or hormones,
animals raised with shelter resting areas, sufficient space and
the ability to engage in natural behaviors.
