Dairy Statistics 
The cooperative is made up of approximately 130 farmer-owners. The average dairy farm has 200 cows, which puts Tillamook County's bovine population at 28,000 cows. The cows are pasture-based, meaning they graze in the green pastures eight to nine months out of the year.

Location 
We have two cheesemaking facilities. The main plant, and headquarters of the cooperative, is in Tillamook, Ore. The satellite facility is located in Boardman, Ore. Everyone is welcome at our Visitor's Center to see how our famous cheese is made. The Visitor's Center is located on Oregon’s Highway 101, two miles north of the town of Tillamook.
