"@TillamookCheese Factory... fun place!" - Photo by @DevEnemy

Good Aftermoon! As you may have herd, today is National Cow Appreciation Day. I am so udderly grateful for my bovine buddies. Without their delicious milk, this Baby Loaf wouldn’t exist! Don’t forget to thank a cow today, and if you don’t see any cows to thank, send them your loudest “mooooooo!” from afar.

Love,

From Ali L.: I drove through Tillamook last week (stopping by the Cheese Factory, of course), and saw what looked like the happiest cow I have ever seen in my life in one of the fields by the Factory. It was walking with a little bit of a bounce in its step and was swinging its head this way and that way, as if it were humming a tune while it walked. That cow obviously knew it was producing yummy things for everyone!

From Pete O.: Woo hoo… it is National Cow Appreciation Day! I would like to thank all the cows out there that I have enjoyed eating and getting milk products from. Especially the Tillamook cows from Tillamook, Oregon. They make the best cheese in the world. I believe it is a good day for a cheeseburger and a milkshake.

From Lynn E.M.: Had a wonderful visit. Learned a lot about making cheese. Had some wonderful ice cream. Now I am craving Tillamook Oregon Strawberry Ice Cream.

 With summer weather finally here, ice cream is on everyone’s brains. What’s summer without a big bowl of Tillamook Oregon Strawberry Ice Cream? Or a waffle cone with Tillamook Marionberry Pie Ice Cream… or a scoop of Tillamook Old-Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream on top of warm, homemade pie?!

Now I’m desperately craving ice cream! Don’t forget to stop by the store this weekend to pick up some Tillamook Ice Cream for our Ice Cream Photo Contest (winner gets 12 free cartons of Tillamook Ice Cream!).

Fan Heidi G. posted this adorable photo of her "Baby Loaf" on Facebook

How was your Mother’s Day weekend? Do anything fun? This Baby Loaf spent the day with my Mama Loaf. I made her breakfast in bed and then we went for a walk on the beautiful Oregon Coast. It was a perfect day!

Anyhoo, here’s a little snapshot of some of my favorite  conversations with fans this week. As always, thanks for a great week!

Lots of Loaf Love,

From Sharon F.: My fridge is never without Tillamook. I will go without if I don’t have a Tillamook option :) My kids are following my lead now as they set out on their own!

From Renee K.: So I was at my local grocery store yesterday and what do my wondering eyes see? TILLAMOOK CHEESE! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Missouri is now a little more bearable with the taste of Oregon!

From Gretel B.: I love the ice cream too! but a loaf of cheddar is a staple.

From Emett S.:  Far as I can tell, Tillamook Butter is the best in the world too. Smoothest melting and best to cook with and of course better tasting than the rest.

From Shane T.: Eating your cheese right now! It has lifted my morning from the drabby existence of butterless toast to a tasty experience comparable to Willy Wonka’s magical land.

From @rozay_23: So I’m eatin a big bowl of Tillamook Banana Split flavored ice cream, w/Cool Whip, & sprinkles! #Winning

From @mel_leilani: Tillamook Marionberry Pie Ice Cream. I am a fan. #nummy

From @EvelynSeven7: I said “mom I’m not gonna eat a sandwich till you buy my Tillamook Cheese!” & today I find some Tilliamook Cheese in my fridge (:

From @beana619: My kids would LIVE on cheese if I let them. String or Tillamook Sharp Cheddar. Those are the only passing cheeses.

From @wendywoowho: Drink fabulous wines. Drink incredible beers. Get up in the Gorge if you can. Eat Tillamook anything. #PDX
