Tillamook County Creamery Association has high expectations
The cooperative’s rigorous quality standards extend to not only its own plant operations, but also its process for auditing suppliers and co-manufacturers.
Nestled along the Pacific coast in upper Oregon is the town of Tillamook. It’s the name given to not only the town itself, but also the surrounding bay, the county in which it’s located, the local high school and Tillamook County Creamery Association, a 112-year-old cooperative that calls the area home.
The company produces a range of dairy products out of its 299,000-square-foot plant in Tillamook, including its popular family-size and foodservice/scoop shop ice cream. In fact, Tillamook is now the No. 1-selling ice cream brand by volume in the Western United States, the company says, citing data from Chicago-based market research firm IRI.
