Sonoma County, California, might be famous for its many wineries and picturesque redwood trees, but it’s also home to a number of impressive dairy processing operations. One such operation, tucked into the small town of Sebastopol, is a creamery operated by Redwood Hill Farm & Creamery.
Occupying space in several buildings, the 66,000-square-foot creamery commenced operations in 2004, when processing was moved from founder Jennifer Bice’s Redwood Hill Farm in Sebastopol. It produces cultured dairy products under the company’s two brands — Green Valley Creamery and Redwood Hill Farm — and a handful of products for private label and co-pack customers. The Green Valley Creamery brand is dedicated to lactose-free, FODMAP Friendly-certified cow’s milk products (most of them also organic) that include sour cream, yogurt, kefir, cream cheese, cottage cheese and butter, while the Redwood Hill Farm brand encompasses artisan goat’s milk yogurt and kefir.
