Raymond Rumiano, Marketing Specialist & co-owner of Rumiano Cheese Company, cheese making & family enterprise, interconnectedness of animals, farmers, and consumers, sustainability, regenerative farming and much more.

On this month’s episode, I join Ray Rumiano in Willows, California, home to Rumiano Cheese Company. Ray has a profound appreciation for the challenges faced by agriculture workers; his commitment to the family business is grounded in the connections between animals, farmers, and customers. This holistic perspective emphasizes the importance of sustainability and longevity which, in turn, produces quality products. Moreover, Ray’s dedication to his farmers and employees highlights the importance of ethically utilizing resources and appreciating the time offered in creating a quality product. The core of business operations resides in humane treatment, and this places Rumiano Cheese Company as a strong contender among large scale dairy farm operations. The passion and care trickles down to the treatment of their cows, which are grass-fed and free range. Even beyond that, Rumiano Cheese utilizes regenerative farming practices which keeps the soil nutrient rich and conserves water. 

Throughout our conversation, Ray and I connected through our shared values in commitment to serving our communities and offering gratitude to those that serve us in return; this sense of comradery, passion, and dedication results in quality products and customer service. The Rumiano family's unique approach to farming, combining traditional methods with environmental consciousness, continues their legacy in the cheesemaking industry.
