Bohemian Laguna

The cheeky logo for Bohemian Creamery kinda says it all: goats driving an old VW Beetle, with a surfboard in the back. Don't you want to try that cheese! Bohemian Creamery is as likeable as its logo: a small family-owned and operated cheesemaker in the outskirts of Sebastopol in Sonoma County. Come on over and meet the makers—that would be the goats! Find them hanging out in a barn area a hundred feet from the tiny cheese shop. They're a friendly crew! Inside the store, taste at the counter. Try goat cheeses like Bo Peep, Holy Moly, Bahboom! Or cow cheeses like Boho Belle and BoDacious. Take your cheese tasting to the next level with buffalo cheese like Bufazola (rich and tangy!). If it's a hot day, go for a goat milk fro-yo, a favorite treat here. After cutting the cheese, head down the road to Laguna de Santa Rosa, the largest freshwater wetland in Sonoma County. Internationally renowned for its ecological vitality, this place is teeming with marshes, riparian woodland, and mystical oases that disappear and reappear with the seasons. Explore it on a mellow 2-mile hike from the Occidental Road trailhead, down to Highway 12. This is a beautiful habitat for thousands of birds along the Pacific Flyway, and if it rains, you're in luck; Laguna de Sana Rosa becomes a floodplain that comes to life.
