Tillamook County Creamery Association commits 10% of September sales to support farmers in need
The cooperative is partnering with American Farmland Trust and Eva Longoria.
This year's harvest is one of financial hardship for many American farmers, and Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA) said it is stepping up to help. Throughout September, 10% of sales — up to $1.6 million — from Tillamook products will go toward grants that will save farms and farmland, provide financial relief directly to farmers, and support sound farming practices.
"At Tillamook, our purpose is to nourish lives in a growing world, and we want to support all farmers who share that mission," said Patrick Criteser, TCCA president and CEO. "We are launching the Tillamook 'All For Farmers' campaign and grant program by partnering with American Farmland Trust (AFT) and farmworker advocate, Eva Longoria, to raise awareness and dollars to help farmers survive a multi-year downturn and thrive in the future."
