Farm Notes:
A favorite of cheesemongers and connoisseurs, organic Caveman Blue is a favorite choice for a cheese platter.

What’s the Story Behind the Caveman?
Pulling inspiration from Southern Oregon’s extensive cave systems as well as the occasional Bigfoot sighting, Grants Pass and Josephine County in Southern Oregon have long considered the Caveman to be something of a regional mascot. The particular Caveman character on our label was adapted from a logo used by the original Rogue Gold brand, a company in Grants Pass, OR that produced butter and other dairy products up until 2002.
