Creamery Tours FAQs
How do you book a tour?
Tours can be purchased on our website using a valid credit card. If tours are sold out, you can be added to a waitlist via Tock and be notified about openings and future releases.
Tours are NOT open to the public without a reservation. We do not accept walk-ins.
What’s included in the tour?
Ticket price includes access to the Stepladder Ranch and Creamery property; interactions with the goats/viewing of the goat herd’s various pastures; Q&A/history to learn more about how we make the cheese; tasting of 3-4 goat’s and cow’s milk cheeses and endless selfie and photo opps.
Please note that tours do not include physical access inside the creamery. This is a clean space in which our team is required to wear specific clothing and attire for cheesemaking. We have several viewing points along the tour for viewing inside the creamery. Our tour guides also provide a detailed overview of our cheesemaking process and can answer any questions.
How early should I arrive for my tour?
We will come to the front gate to greet guests prior to each tour. Please wait in your car and follow us through the gate, up the narrow driveway to the designated parking area. Tours last about 1.5-2 hours and we require some break time and additional set up time between the two sessions.
What do I bring on the tour?
This is a working farm/ranch - clothes and shoes have the possibility of getting dirty. We require wearing closed toe shoes for lots of walking. Depending on the time of year it can be really hot in the summer (70-80+ degrees) and cold in the winter (45-65 degrees). Wear/bring layers including jackets, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, water bottles, etc.
How are your tours for people with limited mobility?
Our farm is mostly on uneven terrain, so it can be a bit challenging to accommodate guests with limited mobility, though we will do our best to create a special experience for all guests on our farm. Please get in touch for more details on navigating the tour with any special needs or accommodations.
Are animals, including service animals, allowed?
NO DOGS ALLOWED - NO EXCEPTIONS. Pets of any kind are not permitted on property. Lily and Gus, our herd protector dogs are trained to ward off intruding critters, which includes unfamiliar domesticated pets. If you bring a pet with you we will ask you to leave.
Refunds & cancellations
No refunds or cancellations. Reservations can be transferred, but we need at least 24 hours notice.
Tour start times are at exactly 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Guests can come and leave within your 2-hour tour window. If you show up late for your tour, we will not extend your time.
All questions/changes to your tour must be handled at least 24 hours prior to your tour. Our property doesn’t have great cell service from Cambria to the farm, so everything must be handled in advance.
Costs for children
Kids pay full price if they can walk or eat cheese.
Do you offer private or group tours?
Yes, we are open to private group tours for groups of 12+ people. Email us if you are interested in booking a private group tour and we will make sure it's a good fit for our team and schedule.
