About our Founder

Hi, my name is Olivia Scott, and I am the founder of The Backyard Social. I am an attorney by day, and a cheese loving hostess with the mostest always! Though The Backyard Social was born during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been a passion project of mine long in the making. For many years, I was my family and friends' go-to for party planning and delicious grazing options, and now I have the privilege of bringing your special moments to fruition. From the Croatia's Istrian peninsula to Sonoma County, I have traveled the world learning about how cheese is made and best paired and enjoyed. My expertise lies in sourcing local, artisan goods to ensure a unique and exceptional grazing exception.
