My mom is a true tillamomma because she brings my sister, my dad and I to the Tillamook cheese factory every summer. She buys lots of cheese, and loves the white licorice ice-cream. We like buying the yogurt, too. She cares about us so much and loves us and supports the north-west farmers.

My mama deserves to be the Tillamamma because, for one we buy a loaf of Tillamook cheese every other day, for two we only use tillamook cheese. Four another thing, there are 4 of us kids in our family and two adults and we only have one income, which makes it tough. Also, the only vacation we’ve ever taken was to the Tillamook cheese factory in Tillamook, Oregon. It was our only family vacation we’ve ever taken, but it was also the most memerable place I’ve ever been. Please make my mama the Tillamamma! Thank you.

I nominate my wife, she is a great mother, she took over and when i lost my job we both started looking and she found one first so she is out there every day busting her hump to work to support our daughter and family until i can finally find something good and she can be a stay at home mom again. She is a wonderful woman, and well we just found out we are expecting i am very excited for that, oh and we love Tillamook cheese and ice cream

My husband taught me the virtues of Tillamook and now my daughter is learning to love it, too! I’m not so much a cheese fan because of the fat content; and as a Canadian, I didn’t know about Tillamook!!!

My Mom is the best Mom in the world. She does a lot for me and I’m thankful for her.
When My complex was to be demolished in March she and I looked at 8 complexes for me to move into and I narrowed it down to 2 apartment complexes she was in Houston for eight days. Then I picked the one that was safe and secure for me to live in..

My mom just won a bunch of Tillamook Cheese at Spirit Mountain Casina and gave me a few loafs!!! She knows how much I love Tillamook Cheese! One time when I was living in Florida I flew home to Oregon for a visit and took home a loaf my mom bought for me and got stopped by TSA because the cheese appeared as a bomb material in the scanner. Good thing I didn’t open the loaf or I wouldn’t not have been able to take it back to FL with me. I’m living back in Oregon now and have since gone to the factory with my mom!! Thanks Mom!!!

My mom knows her cheese and all she buys is Tillamook. We have a rhyme we learned long ago ” I hanker for a hunk of, a slab or slice or chunk of, I hanker for a hunk of cheese.” Only Tillamook will do cause it is the best cheese in the universe.
Happy Mothers day Tillamama’s.

It is my Daughter, she loves Tillamook Cheese. Igot her started buying it and now thats the only one she ever wants to buy. Tillamook is great tasting and real creamy, it makes the best homemade mac and cheese.My daughter is a great mom, she has a two year old son that loves cheese, she is going to have another little boy in the middle of June and we are so excited for the new arrival. When he gets old enough he will be eating Tillamook Cheese with all of us. THANKS TILLAMOOK!!!

My sister in law is a great mother and she always has your cheese in the refrig and she gave me some and it is delicious. My nephew is 2 years old and he ask me to write and to let you know his mama is the best and she always feeds him your cheese and she wouldn’t feed him your cheese if it wasn’t healthy and good for his growing bones.

My mum is a Tillamama cause she always, ALWAYS!, buys a pound of Tillamook Chedder Cheese when we go grocery shopping! It’s what we use for sandwiches, grilled cheese, and burgers! And frankly, I love that she does that! It’s good to have plain too! :)

My mom is a true Tillamama. I still remember when I was a little girl and we had to move from the Oregon coast to Nevada. I hated the move and was very homesick. I cried myself to sleep several nights after the move. The grocery store next to us did not carry a large selection, and we never really thought that much about cheese. (Although while living in Oregon, she only bought Tillamook medium cheddar.) One night on her way home from giving her friend a ride home from work, she stopped at a different store and brought home the most amazing gift. A baby loaf of Tillamook medium cheddar cheese! She made us grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup that night. It tasted like home! She made a special trip to that store just to buy us that cheese even though it was out of her way. She did this for the entire 3 years we lived there. After that, we moved back home to the Oregon coast and one of our first stops was the Cheese Factory! I cannot remember another brand of cheese ever being in our fridge. And now, it is the only brand that I buy for my family. (True Story!)
