The Stepladder Creamery Difference

Cheese as Nature Intended

Stepladder Creamery's cheese is crafted using traditional, small-batch production methods on a historic 150-year-old farm. Our animals are cherished, living in a pristine environment, grazing on open pasture, ensuring the cheese is pure, flavorful, and crafted with care.

Award Winning Creamery

As a farmstead creamery, we raise our goats on the farm and make cheese from their milk, which allows us to manage every aspect of our cheese production.

Our goals are to create world class products and to provide a positive and meaningful workplace for our staff, as well as a healthy, sustainable environment for our animals.

Here is what our customers are saying.
EricaDefinitely delicious!

"For triple crème lovers this cheese is the best! I gifted Big Sur to my cheese monger friend. She had to stop herself from eating the whole thing in one sitting. I’m looking forward to the next release!"

KacieLovely

"I intended to eat half of it and leave the rest, but I liked it so much chilled just the way it was that I got more crackers and finished it off. Creamy, spreads amazingly, and has a light, inoffensive taste."

Sona K.Love this company

"A friend of mine who lives in Paso Robles introduced me to this wonderfully delicious cheese from Stepladder. The one we had was "Ragged Point" - so creamy and heavenly flavor."
