Bill Straus began farming in 1941 with just 23 cows here on the beautiful shores of Tomales Bay and the Point Reyes National Seashore, 60 miles north of San Francisco. Ellen Straus, his wife, read the book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson in the early 1960s and began the family's strong commitment to environmental sustainability.
