Jacobs Creamery

The founder, born in Dublin, Ireland, immigrated to the United States at a young age. Despite a family background far removed from farming, she pursued a career in law before realizing it wasn't her true calling. Inspired by a book about cheesemaking, she took a class in the Berkshires and decided to open her own creamery. Initially renting facility space, she eventually settled on a 40-acre spread in Chehalis, Washington, in 2012. Over the years, the business has grown, fueled by her passion for cheese and the joy it brings to people.

Each cheese is handcrafted using traditional recipes, ensuring that every product is unique and exceptional. The process emphasizes the transformation of milk into cheese, highlighting the creativity and skill involved in cheesemaking. The commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is evident in every product.

Jacobs Creamery products are available at various farmers markets in the Portland area. The business also offers wholesale accounts for shops and restaurants. The founder's journey from law to cheesemaking is a testament to following one's passion and the joy it can bring to others.
