Frank & Stacey Gambonini Family

Fifth generation farmers, Frank and Stacey Gambonini, own and operate their family farm, Gambonini Family Ranch (formerly known as Gamlake Dairy), in Petaluma, California. They proudly celebrated the dairy's 100th year in 2013. Frank Gambonini grew up on the ranch following his father, George Gambonini, around in his little rubber boots, thinking he was a "big time" farmer. Today that perception has become his reality, and he loves every minute of it.

Along with their three daughters, Francesca, Alexandra, and Samantha, Frank and Stacey operate their organic ranch with over 200 head of cattle. The farm boasts over 500 acres of rolling Sonoma County pastures where the heifers all graze together. In 2007, the ranch converted to organic, which has required education, dedication and the adoption of new technology. In 2019, Gamlake Dairy ended their milking operation and today, Frank & Stacey raise organic dairy heifers, along with producing several agricultural products. Gamlake Dairy is proud to be the 2013 Outstanding Dairy of the Year, The Edward J. Maddalena Memorial Trophy Recipients, presented by Sonoma County Fair and the 2014 Farm Family of the Year, presented by Sonoma County Farm Bureau. 

Today, Frank and Stacey are working to build their legacy to advocate and promote the dairy and agriculture industries in Sonoma County and to preserve and create a new level of "farm to table" experiences on their organic family ranch for their daughters, Francesca, Alexandra, and Samantha to take over in the future.
