What an awesome place! After a really disappointing stop at Point Reyes Cheese, this place…read moreredeemed the day and made us forget about the other place almost immediately. Great cheeses, samples, deals, a beautiful spot to enjoy our cheeses, breads, wines and chocolates and more. The wonderful lady behind the cheese counter was brilliant. She shared here likes and combos and just was so pleasant! We probably spent 2x more than we intended because of her! They provide a frozen ice pack to take your goodie home with you (the other place had nothing). We camped out a lot a picnic table enjoying the scenery and animals. Highly recommend for a wonderful picnic or lazy day.

The shop also sells local sausages, jams, and pate. If you come here, I highly suggest you buy items that are not available at chain stores. Hint: It's usually cheaper at the chain stores. For example, one petit wheel of Brie is $7.99 here vs. four petit wheels (Triple Creme, Truffle Triple Creme, Breakfast, and Camembert) at Costco is only $14.74. I like their Truffle Triple Creme the best. On our latest visit, they were showcasing their Supreme Brie, which contains even more cream than their Triple Creme Brie. I didn't think that level of cream was necessary. We ended up picking up a brined Brie called Golden Gate; the brininess added more flavor to their already flavorful Brie. If you are here during lunch time, be sure to order a toasted sandwich. We got the three-cheese toastie and it was delicious. We also got a pesto chicken sandwich and the chicken was very flavorful. After lunch, we got the Straus soft-serve -- we can definitely taste the remarkably fresh cream. There are picnic tables with bathrooms near a nice pond on-site. My only gripe about this place is that the picnic tables are dirty with lots of bird poop. The outdoor bathrooms are dirty too; one unit did not even have toilet paper. It doesn't seem like the outdoor areas are regularly cleaned and maintained (1 star off). The view is beautiful. I would definitely spend more time here if the outdoor premises are cleaner.

We have had the meat thaw several times now and therefore can't refreeze it. They drop it off at 2 am without any ice packs or dry ice to keep it frozen. There is no customer support email on their website, at least that I could find. No next steps if you have an issue with the order. I would steer clear until they figure out how to deliver and keep the meat frozen.

Glad we had reservations. We had wine tasting along with food tasting. Everything was good and beautifully presented. Afterwards, we went into the gift shop and purchased lotions and the best ginger jam that paired well with Brie. The tastings were ample and a nice selection. It was pricey, but for a special occasion, worth it. The Ode body butter is the best I had to get another jar. It is really moisturizing and lasts a long time. I prefer the "verde" scent. They have lavender, and unscented too. very relaxing vibe.

My personal SWOT analysis is listed below: Strength: *Famous in California *It offers tours, tastings, workshops, and sells wines *Pioneering Olive Oil *Award-Winning Quality *Historical Significance *Sustainability & Organic Farming *A seat-down outdoor area with scenery for any occasion *Outlet shop in downtown Petaluma Weakness: *The place is in a remote area *The olive oil testing fee is pricey compared with other places we visited in Paso Robles California *Skin products are large and heavy for tourists to take on an airplane or carry on *The table turnover rate is lower than restaurants with food consumption *No restaurant or delicatessen available *They need to hire more staff to maintain the quality of their property Opportunities: *If customer satisfaction is high *If they have good marketing strategies *Not many competitors nearby *More demand *Skin product choices are variable Threats: *If people are not familiar with olive products, they may not like this place *Customers may occupy the tables for a long time during peak season or times *Other places or similar products may have better quality at a lower price with generous portions *An alternative option in the food industry, suppliers, and cosmetics companies Overall, it's a great place to hang out on any occasion with family or small groups. The outdoor area is beautiful and relaxing. Since it is an open space, it could be very hot in summer or cold in winter, or during the rainy season. Moreover, this ranch is also not very noticeable to international tourists. We found it because during the New Year's holiday, many places are closed. So we googled this place while we were staying at the Hampton Inn Petaluma. We are from San Luis Obispo, California. There are many olive oil farms nearby. We not only visited the farms but also tasted the olive oil at a little fee or sometimes even for free.

Customer Service: 5/5 We had amazing customer service here. The gentleman working was extremely personable. He brought out a platter of samples for us to try of different cheeses and butter and he taught the kids some Spanish in the process! He made the whole experience much more fun! If you are in the area, this is a great place to grab some ice cream or a coffee and enjoy the beautiful neighborhood around here.

Started following them on instagram and made it a point to get there around when they opened on a Saturday. Everything looked amazing, there was so much to choose from tomatoes, herbs, veggies, etc. I've gone a couple of times now and the amount and variety of items depend on how early you get there and the day of the week. They are really good at posting on instagram each day they are open with photos of what they have available so you can see ahead of time/plan accordingly. Everything I have gotten there has been so fresh and amazing to make soups, stir fry's or sauces with. The gal that is at the register is so friendly and nice. She always greets you with a smile and connects with you individually vs just as another customer.

It was a popular spot with many people doing their afternoon shopping. The beer selection was amazing for me, lots of Russian River and other regional staples. The staff was also friendly, both the beer stocker and cashiers. I highly recommend shopping here if you're in Petaluma.
