Touring Stepladder Ranch

Join us on a journey to the picturesque Cambria coast to meet the talented team at Stepladder Ranch & Creamery. Nestled amidst scenic landscapes, this family-owned farm is a haven for artisanal cheesemaking.

Stepladder Ranch & Creamery is more than just a cheese producer; it's a testament to sustainable and diverse farming. Located just minutes from the stunning Highway 1 and its breathtaking beaches, this idyllic farm is home to a small herd of La Mancha dairy goats, the source of their exquisite, small-batch cheeses.

We'll meet Jack and Michelle Rudolph, the passionate owners who dedicate themselves to raising their goats and crafting exceptional cheeses. Witness the excitement of kidding season, a time of intense activity and joy on the farm as they welcome a new generation of goats.

Beyond their renowned cheeses, Stepladder Ranch & Creamery cultivates over 200 varieties of citrus and subtropical fruits across their 750-acre property. Forty acres are dedicated to Hass avocados, while a free-roaming herd of heritage pigs grazes amongst the trees. To ensure year-round cheese production, they also collaborate with another local family farm to produce cow's milk cheeses.
