Quixote LaManchas



In 1972 our family moved from Los Angeles north to Napa Valley exchanging the smoggy car culture of our urban existence for starry nights and acres of dirt, rock and brush.

We invited dairy goats of the tiny earred LaMancha breed to browse the hillside chaparral and provide us with milk and entertainment.They are still doing that and, as such things evolve, we licensed - in 1992 - a tiny farmhouse cheese "factory."

Look here for for photos and details on our bucks, does, and their cheese. Tale of the Ear is Barbara's history of the LaMancha breed.
