Cowgirl Creamery

Red Hawk, one of Cowgirl Creameries' signature cheeses

Cowgirl Creamery is a company located in Point Reyes Station, California, which manufactures artisan cheeses. Founded in 1994, the company manufactures its own cheeses[1] and sells other imported and domestic cheese and fine artisan foods.[2] Its own cheeses include Red Hawk and Mt. Tam (named after Mount Tamalpais). Until April 2021,[3] the company operated a storefront in the Ferry Building of San Francisco. Founders Peggy Smith and Sue Conley worked for years in the kitchens of the Bay Area, and Alice Waters' Chez Panisse, where Peggy worked for many years, is among many Bay Area establishments to incorporate cheeses from Cowgirl Creamery into its menu.[4]
