For Sale: Organic Dairy/Farmstead Cheese Business in the magic Skagit Valley

Samish Bay Cheese started in 1996, organic from the start. From the humble beginnings that Suzanne and Roger Wechsler took over in 1999, it has grown in facilities, product line, distribution and employees (now 20) with sales now exceeding $1.5 million per year.

We produce fresh and aged cheeses, including several proprietary, award winners, as well as yogurt, labneh, kefir, beef, veal, lamb and pork.  Our fresh cheeses, including our signature Ladysmith, have a strong following; nobody around has anything like this line of cheeses. Our whole milk yogurts have growing distribution and a loyal customer base. We are a certified organic dairy, exclusively using milk from our own animals.  Running this business for over 20 years, we have developed a strong market for our products and created a well-recognized brand, especially in the greater Puget Sound area.  Now in our 70’s, we are ready to sell to someone interested in taking over our operation.  We would be happy to stay on to help and work for new owners.

Included will be the 54 acre farm, a 3000 sq ft production plant with aging rooms/refrigerated storage (four temperature zones), a 900 sq ft retail store, a 33,000 sq ft barn, a 5100 sq ft barn, farm and processing equipment, livestock, inventory (including some Goudas and Cheddars aged up to 15 years and older), our registered trademark, as well as wonderful large farmhouse in a beautiful setting.  Cheese equipment includes two pasteurizing vats: 1500 L and 500 L, two press tables, and whey more.
