I recently had the amazing opportunity to photograph the cows at Valley Ford Cheese Co.  Including a 2 DAY OLD calf!  This ranch, Mountain View Jerseys, has been in production for over one hundred years.  5 generations of the Bianchi family have now worked on this land in Valley Ford, CA.  Karen Bianchi-Moreda and her family have such amazing dedication to their cows, their land, and their heritage.  Karen gave me a truly heartfelt tour around the farm and sent me away with some of their amazing cheese.  It has been a privilege!  Look for their cheese at these farmer's markets, and look for these images in an upcoming Edible Marin & Wine Country issue :)
