Originating in Oregon's coastal Tillamook Valley, where wet, cool conditions created perfect grass-growing terrain, early homesteaders faced isolation challenges. These innovative farmers-turn-seafarers, created Oregon's first official ship, the Morning Star, to transport their abundant milk and butter.
Soon after, small creameries united to form the Tillamook County Creamery Association, ensuring every product met their exacting standards. Today, these farmer-led makers remain guided by their original values. Their commitment to stewardship extends beyond delicious dairy to supporting food security, agricultural education, and farmland preservation. Tillamook continues a legacy of doing things the right way, always.
