Sunny Breeze Farm | About our Family-operated Farm and Cheesemaking Facility

Rolling Hills …rugged landscape. Such is the northwestern Colorado country we call home. For neighbors, we have ranchers with cattle and sheep that graze thousands of acres, and backyard pronghorn, mule deer, and especially elk. Our location is beautiful, but limited precipitation (14 inches annually) and cold winters at an elevation of 6,300 feet make farming a unique challenge. In this country and climate, Sunny Breeze Farm uses 259 acres with grasses, alfalfa, and several ponds to support our Friesian ewes.

We purchased our farm in 2005. At that point it was bare land without any improvements. We added the basics, including a well, electricity, a house, a barn, corrals, etc. Fencing and farm equipment are luxuries that are being added as time (and finances) permit. We initially worked with two cheesemakers before deciding to invest in our own equipment and make our own cheese. For you, this in-house operation ensures the freshness of our products and allows us to serve you directly.

Sunny Breeze Farm is family-operated. We have seven children involved in various ways in operating the farm, and our goal is to together keep the small family farm alive while providing you with your favorite specially sheep cheeses.
—Joel & Joanne Petre and family
