The Perfect Place for

an intimate tasting room experience within an iconic farmland setting.

  • Sample the unique and delicious Wheyfarer vodka and gin, distilled from sheep’s whey.
  • Buy a bottle or two of the one-of-a-kind vodka and gin to take home.
  • Shop for exceptional rich cheeses, creamy yogurt, and premium lamb.
  • Enjoy the bucolic Whidbey setting, with beautiful views of the Salish Sea and the mainland.
  • Experience a tour and learn about the history of the farm while visiting the adorable sheep and admiring artistic metal work.

Located on the lovely eastern coastline of Whidbey Island, Glendale Shepherd Farm produces high-quality sheep milk cheeses, yogurt, and pasture-raised lamb. A small-scale, award-winning family farm, Glendale Shepherd is now the first creamery in North America distilling vodka and gin using whey—the liquid byproduct from dairy production. We invite you to make the trip to Glendale Shepherd Farm to learn about the environmentally inspired process for making Wheyfarer spirits and to taste these one-of-a-kind island offerings. Each sip tells the story of this three-generation farm, preserving their agricultural roots in innovative ways.
