Tillamook Turns 104!!!
February is a very exciting month for many reasons: Valentine’s Day, Oregon’s Birthday, and most importantly, Tillamook’s Birthday!!! This year, on February 13, the farmer owned co-op is turning 104! That’s 104 years of delicious naturally aged cheese made in Tillamook, Oregon! In 1909, several small creameries teamed up to form Tillamook County Creamery Association with the mission to make delicious high quality cheese.
I have a lot to be thankful for! After all, if it wasn’t for those farmers 104 years ago, there’d be no me (Loafy)! Today, Tillamook is made up of 100 dairy farm families, many of whom are kin to the early pioneers. To celebrate this very exciting birthday, I’m writing and collecting birthday cards to share with our wonderful farmers! Will you join me!?!
Send your cards to:

Dear Tillamook farmers,
Thank you for feeding me ever since I was a little kid!
I was lucky enough to see the rodeo at the Fairgrounds 2 years ago and I can tell you, not only are you are raising some fine cattle, but you are definitely raising some great kids in Tillamook County! Happy 104th birthday, and here’s to 104 more!
Love,
Malia

Can we pre-order the cheese curds?

Hi Amanda,
There are no pre-orders for the cheese curds. Once the shop page is up on the 13th, you can order!
Let me know if you have other questions!
All the best,

Are there any restrictions fir shipping? I live in TX? Can I still do this. I love me some Tillamook and we now only get the block cheese here.

Hi there,
The Online Shop will ship anywhere in the US (except to a PO Box)! I hope that one day we’ll have more Tillamook products down in Texas for you to enjoy!
I hope this answers your question!
All the best,
