Nicasio Valley Cheese Company at Fairfax Market
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Nicasio Valley Cheese Company is a family-owned artisan cheese producer based in Nicasio, California, specializing in organic, farmstead cheeses.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter.
Lead with Nicasio Valley Organic Raclette Cheese Wedge in Other Cheese.
Fairfax Market stocks other cheese thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 3 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is other cheese: Fairfax Market stocks only 9 there, so Nicasio Valley Organic Raclette Cheese Wedge stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 4 of the 5 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 1 of 11 SKUs. Room to widen the line.

Presence and depth are measured from Fairfax Market’s current Bay Area storefront: its online catalog plus our shelf photos, a partial view. A widely-distributed brand shown as a new door may already be carried through channels we don’t index. Fairfax Market profile →
