The Robert (Bob) Giacomini Dairy is located three miles north of the small town of Point Reyes Station in Marin County, CA. The dairy sits on 700 acres of rolling hills overlooking the beautiful Tomales Bay.
Bob comes from a long line of dairy producers with roots dating back over 100 years to the Swiss Mountain region of Northern Italy. Bob and his wife, Dean, bought the dairy in 1959 and raised four daughters, Karen, Diana, Lynn and Jill, on the farm. In 2000, the family diversified by launching Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company where they produce California’s only classic-style blue cheese, Original Blue. Bob is most-proud that diversifying the dairy brought his daughters back to the farm. Bob is at the helm of the dairy operation and Karen, Diana, Lynn and Jill are managing partners of the cheese company. Dean is the family counselor.
“We’re thrilled to be a part of Clover Stornetta Farms because it’s an organization that not only stands for high quality, but one that responsibly participates in the local community, exemplifying true commitment to preserving the environment. The land has been very good to us here over the past 50 years and it is our responsibility to take care of it in return. Clover’s North Coast Excellence Certified program is also one of a kind. The requirements are very strict but it keeps all of the Clover producers on track, sharing the same standards and goals, and ultimately assuring Clover customers that quality is absolutely paramount – as it should be.”
