Garden Variety Cheese is a small farmstead cheese business located on Monkeyflower Ranch in Royal Oaks, California, spanning 40 acres in Northern Monterey County. Since beginning commercial milking and cheese production in March 2009, the farm has focused on producing rich, sweet milk from their seasonal dairy sheep, which are lovingly named after garden flowers.

The sheep are fed a natural diet consisting of fresh pasture, alfalfa hay, and organic grains, ensuring the health and well-being of the animals while maintaining high-quality milk and cheese. Garden Variety Cheese emphasizes sustainable practices, avoiding chemical wormers and antibiotics, and instead utilizes methods like rotational grazing and concentrated garlic juice to keep their flock healthy.
