Tillamook is a farmer-owned dairy cooperative and beloved American dairy brand headquartered in Tillamook, Oregon, on the scenic northern Oregon coast. The cooperative was founded in 1909 when local dairy farmers banded together to ensure fair pricing and quality standards for their products, and it remains farmer-owned to this day, with member farms located throughout Oregon's lush Tillamook Valley. The cooperative is renowned for its unwavering commitment to quality, using only real, simple ingredients with no artificial growth hormones, artificial preservatives, or artificial flavors. Tillamook's flagship products are its award-winning cheddar cheeses, which have earned numerous accolades at national and international cheese competitions. The brand has expanded well beyond cheese to offer a full range of dairy products including ice cream, butter, sour cream, cream cheese, yogurt, and cheese snacks. Tillamook ice cream, in particular, has become a fast-growing national brand known for its extra-creamy formulation and generous mix-ins. The Tillamook Creamery Visitor Center on the Oregon coast welcomes over a million visitors annually, featuring factory tours, tastings, and a gift shop. The cooperative has grown from a small regional brand into a nationally distributed dairy powerhouse while maintaining its cooperative ownership structure, with approximately 80 farm families sharing in the governance and profits. Tillamook is committed to stewardship and sustainability, supporting responsible farming practices and animal welfare standards across its member farms.
