We’re thrilled to share that our founder, Sue Conley, has been featured in Edible Marin & Wine Country! 🌟 This beautiful piece highlights not only Sue’s remarkable journey in the world of artisan food and farming, but also the heart and vision behind Silver Penny Farm.

Many know Sue as the co-founder of Cowgirl Creamery, where she helped pioneer the artisan cheese movement that put West Marin and Petaluma on the map for sustainable, world-class dairy. Today, her passion has taken root here at Silver Penny Farm, where we continue her legacy of caring for the land, the animals, and the community.

The article paints a vivid picture of how Silver Penny has become a vibrant hub: a home for sheep grazing in the pastures, bees buzzing in the gardens, and guests coming together to learn, rest, and connect with the land. It’s a reminder that farming is more than just growing food — it’s about cultivating experiences, nurturing relationships, and creating space for regeneration and joy.

We’re deeply honored to see Sue’s story shared in such a thoughtful way. Her vision guides everything we do here, from sustainable practices to welcoming visitors who want to experience the beauty and magic of farm life.

✨ We invite you to read the full article and celebrate this milestone with us:
