At Barinaga Ranch we are continuing the ancient shepherding and cheesemaking traditions of my Basque family and ancestors in Spain. Our small flock of dairy sheep graze year-round on over 100 acres of hilly pastures on our ranch, located on the east shore of Tomales Bay in Marin County, California. The ewes have their lambs in March and from April through September we milk our ewes twice a day, and make their rich, delicious, raw milk into a Basque-style cheese.
