Who We Are
Samish Bay Cheese is owned and operated by
Suzanne and Roger Wechsler. We have a great crew to help us,
including Jim Morgan, who has been with us since our beginning. We
farm 200 acres in the northwest corner of Skagit County, Washington.
The centerpiece of the farm is our organic dairy where we make our
cheese. We have a mixed herd of Jersey, Milking Shorthorn, Dutch
Belted and cross-breeds. We raise the heifers (females) to milk for
our cheese and yogurt. The males (steers) are raised for beef.
Surrounded by Samish Bay, the Chuckanut Mountains, and the grass-green fields of the Skagit/Samish valley, we are in an environment well suited to organic farming. We raise our animals from birth on 100% organic feed. They are out on pasture except when the fields are too wet. We sell our cheese, yogurt, and meat at our shop on the farm and at farmers markets in Seattle and northwest Washington, and at selected west coast retailers. Samish Bay Cheese is certified organic by the Washington State Department of Agriculture.
