Oregon Dairy Farms & Farmers

Our farmers and farm families are committed to their cows and their communities. Across the state, farms work with their communities to upcycle food byproducts to feed cows, support local events and schools with farm tours, and consistently work to improve efficiencies and reduce environmental impacts.

Animal Care

Dairy farmers, regardless of farm size, are committed to ensuring high-quality care for their cows. Farms employ various housing methods, including free-stall barns and open lots, to allow cows freedom of movement and access to rest and feed. Additionally, farmers provide cooling systems and comfortable bedding to ensure cow comfort.

Sustainability Facts

Dairy farmers work diligently as environmental stewards every day. Implementation of sustainable farming techniques to optimize inputs like water and fertilize r , enhance soil health, and utiliz e renewable energy sources like solar power and methane digesters to reduce their carbon footprint are just some of the ways dairy farmers are putting the planet first.

Tillamook Cheese Factory Tour: This is What You Need to Know

Cheese, please!

Several years ago, during an anniversary trip, John and I visited the Tillamook Cheese Factory without the kids. We’ve told them about it several times, and they’ve always wanted to go. And, really, can you blame them? You get to eat cheese (maybe even ice cream) and count it for school! 

For a true glimpse of how the production of cheese happens, all the way from the dairy farm to your table, nothing is better than a tour of the Tillamook Cheese Factory in Tillamook, Oregon. We recently had the chance to visit the creamery with the kids and everyone loved learning about how cheese (and ice cream!) are made. 

Recently, my parents were in town, and we were looking for things to do in Tillamook, on our way to Cape Lookout State Park . We decided that a Tillamook Creamery Tour was a perfect choice. It was pretty cool a few years ago, but let me tell you! They have made some serious upgrades since our last visit!

Things to know before you visit the Tillamook Cheese Factory for a tour

What are the Tillamook Cheese Factory Tour hours and days?

You can visit the Tillamook Creamery and get your cheese fix almost any day! They’re open from 8 am-6 pm Sunday-Thursday and 8 am-8 pm Friday and Saturday, except for a few major holidays. They do close early or open late on others (like New Years), so be sure to check before you head out if it’s a holiday .   

What is the cost of the Tillamook Cheese Factory tour?

Here’s the best part when you’re on a budget. The Tillamook Cheese Factory tour will set you back exactly $0. 

Yup, it’s totally free. And it includes cheese samples. 😋 Win-win!

Is the Tillamook Cheese Factory tour good for kids?

Yes! Kids of all ages will enjoy the opportunity to “feed” a calf, try their hand at milking, and watch the process of cheese being made from the viewing deck. Because the tour is self-guided, you can adjust the time at each station according to the interest and ages of your kids.

Is there a gift shop or ice cream shop?

Yes! There are actually both. After you’ve taken the Tillamook Cheese Factory tour, head back downstairs where you can browse the gift shop.

Then, if you like, head to the Dining Hall for food and ice cream!

Join our newsletter and get instant access to our Outdoor Adventure Guide - 15 pages full of adventure tips, checklists, meal ideas, and more!

How long does the Tillamook Creamery Tour take?

Because the Tillamook Cheese Factory tour is self-guided, it can take as little or as long as you’d like. However, I’d plan on spending an hour or two to enjoy your time fully.

What about visiting the Tillamook Creamery with food allergies?

If you have a food allergy, you’ll have to read their allergen statement   and decide for yourself if you feel comfortable. In general, we steer clear of the ice cream because Garrett has a peanut allergy, and they do use the same equipment for all their flavors, although they do sanitize between. But, we totally feel comfortable with their cheeses and eat them all the time.

What do you learn during a Tillamook Cheese Factory Tour?

During a Tillamook Cheese Factory tour, you can expect to learn everything about how the creamery is run. You’ll find out how the cows are cared for, the process of making cheese and ice cream, and even get some hands-on learning in the Farm Exhibit.

What is there to see during a tour of the Tillamook Cheese Factory?

The Tillamook Creamery Tour starts with displays featuring their history as well as some interesting facts, such as the fact that they get about 1.6 million pounds of milk a day. And, that that milk is all made into cheese or ice cream within 24 hours. 🤯

Farm Exhibit

At the Farm Exhibit, you’ll learn about how the farmers care for the cows, how much milk is obtained, and the technology they are using to improve the care of the cows.

Next up, the kiddos can enjoy “feeding” a baby calf and trying their hand at milking a cow.

Did you know that it takes approximately 21 seconds for a professional to clean the udders of a dairy cow and attach a milking device? It doesn’t seem like it would be possible to do that fast, but our kids gave it a valiant try and proved that it is!

Viewing Deck

Down the hall from the farm exhibit is the viewing gallery, where you can learn about the actual process of cheese production.   From how the cheesemakers test the cheese for quality to how they weigh and seal them for transport to the store, you’ll see the entire process in action here.

You can also take a few moments and watch two short videos, one on the production of cheese and one about ice cream, that share even more information. 

Sample Area

After you’ve seen how cheese is made, why not try some free samples? Head to the cheese sample area before heading back downstairs to pick your favorite.

Head down the stairs to the new gift shop to find yourself some treats to take home or just to ogle this custom Tillamook snowboard by Deviation . 

Dining Hall

If everyone’s getting a little hangry or the thought of a fresh grilled cheese and ice cream is perfect, your next stop should be the Dining Hall. With everything from Tempura Battered Cheese Curds to Classic Tomato Soup and a Green Salad, chances are you can find something for everyone.

Last but not least, you really can’t finish a Tillamook cheese factory tour without letting your kids pretend to drive away, can you? Our boys said they were headed to New York…I’m not sure they realize just how long that drive would be! 🤣

There you have it! Our Tillamook Creamery tour review.

What do you think? Does it sound like something you would do?

5 Cheesy Reasons You Need to Tour the Tillamook Cheese Factory

If you still aren’t quite sure if you should do the Tillamook Cheese Factory tour, maybe these cheesy reasons will help you decide. 😉

• It’s a gouda field trip activity near Portland.
• You’ll have a grate day. 
• Their new Visitors Center is looking mighty sharp.

Tour the Creamery & Distillery

Our visitors learn about modern agriculture, including the milking process, where cows are housed, feeding, milk storage and nutrition. 

Remember to dress for the outdoors, and wear closed-toe shoes.

It is easy to go to the store and grab a gallon of milk, but many of us don’t know the farmers, the people, and the families behind the nutritious dairy products we enjoy. Now you have the chance to connect you with your local dairy farmer and catch a glimpse into what life is like on dairy farm. Know your farmer, know your food. We believe that food tastes better when we know where it’s from!

Savvy shoppers are more interested than ever in how their food is produced. Agri-tourism invites members of the public to visit ag operations while providing recreational and/or educational experiences that build public awareness of rural life.

For many people who visit farms, especially children, the visit marks the first time they see the source of their food, be it a dairy cow, an ear of corn growing in a field, or an apple they can pick right from the tree.

TMK Farm is ideal for your agri-tourism experience, just 35 minutes from Portland, Oregon!   Spend an hour or spend the day. Learn how your popular dairy products are produced, meet our “cow-lebrities” and gain a working knowledge of life on the farm.

Youth group tours available, free of charge. Email [email protected] to schedule.

This direct-to-farmer learning experience allows time for questions and answers at an any level level, and an opportunity for farmers to share what practices are being used and the logic behind them. As they say, “Know your farmer, know your food.”

It’s an exciting time at TMK farm! Tour the farm, then stay and shop some of the regions most sought after delicacies including our artisan cheeses, locally crafted jams, spreads, baked goods, and more. PLUS, we're crafting homegrown goodness in the TMK foodtruck, deep fried fresh cheddar curds, grilled cheese, TMK angus beef burgers, cheese steak sandwichies and more! Try our home made soft serve ice cream, plus TMK milk shakes, coffee, and beer and wine on tap!

Now we're giving you the chance to take home your favorites, hard pack ice cream, TMK Meat Co steaks and grillers, pure vanilla extract, taco sauce, and the world's only Cowcohol, a whey-distilled vodka.

We look forward to welcoming you to TMK!
