About Us

Our Story

Portland Creamery was started back in 2011 with the idea to focus on making the best quality chévre from a single herd of prized goats and make it on the farm using traditional practices.

The farm and creamery are located in Molalla, OR, in the Willamette Valley. The small herd of nationally ranked Saanans, Alpines and LaMancha goats openly large fields and have a large open barn for warmth and protection. This freedom of movement and large pasture access reflects in the milk composition. Pasture based animals produce milk that has a higher level of vitamins and healthier balance of healthier fats like omega- 3 and 6.

We focus on high quality fresh goat cheese to reflect the soil health, animal health, and the tastes of the season.
