Come by and see us at our Visitor's Center! When you do, the easiest way to learn about our history and our products is to take our self-guided tour. You can start anytime during the day and set your own pace and direction.

We recommend starting with the historical video presentation downstairs. It will give you some background on how we got started nearly a century ago. Then, move upstairs to the observation area where you’ll not only enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the cheesemaking and packaging areas, but will get to see video presentations about the cheesemaking process, the packaging process and how we make our ice cream!

If you’re hungry for more in-depth knowledge, spend some time at the interactive kiosks, which will teach you, in even greater detail, about our cheesemaking process. You can browse nutritional and ingredient information on all our products, discover more about our history in our Time Machine, and kids of all ages will enjoy our Kidz Zone – a fun way to learn about dairy cows!

When you’ve had your fill of the kiosks, head downstairs to the cheese sample counter. You’ll wind past displays exploring the history of Tillamook County, current industries in the area and our commitment to the environment. The path will lead you right in front of several trays of Tillamook cheese you can sample. We believe that learning should also be delicious!
