Our Story
Our farmer-owned cooperative was formed back in 1909. It grew out of the desire on the part of a handful of farmers to ensure that the cheese produced in the area was of the absolute highest quality.

That commitment caught on and Tillamook County Creamery Association eventually expanded to include all of the small, independent cheese plants in the county. Today, TCCA is made up of approximately 130 dairy families.

Over the years, we have earned a reputation for producing premium-quality, consistent and best-tasting dairy products. Today, we are nationally recognized for that commitment to quality, the results of which can be tasted in any of our dairy products.

The Tillamook Tradition

For us, true and lasting success requires more than just premium product. That is why we’ve also worked hard over the years to distinguish ourselves as great supporters of the local and state dairy industries and as committed stewards of the environment.

These are just two of the important lessons handed down to us by our founders nearly a century ago. They are part of a set of guiding principles we call “The Tillamook Tradition” that we incorporate into every business decision we make.
