Sometime after the Callahan family moved to thirty-four acres of bucolic Sonoma County near Petaluma, former nurse and bar certified lawyer Cindy Callahan realized that our pastoral region produces rich grasses, as high as an elephant’s eye. Her solution to a growing problem was sheep. Soon enough she became a passionate shepherd and then, logically, an award-winning cheesemaker.
Callahan passed away in early June of this year, leaving her longtime partner and son Liam, along with his wife Diana, to run what has become a beacon of fine cheese making. Liam joins host Clark Wolf to tell the family story and to honor the memory and hard work of a pioneer and a generous, warm and talented mother who has been an inspiration to many far and wide.
