Does Tillamook make Bandon Cheese?

Yes, Tillamook Cheese owns Bandon Cheese. After the Coquille Valley Farmers Co-op became insolvent in 1986, a series of owners struggled to profitably operate the Bandon Cheese plant and store. At the request of Bandon’s owners, Tillamook purchased Bandon Cheese in April of 2000. When we were approached to purchase the Bandon brand and factory, we believed that buying it would ensure its longevity and maintain the Oregon heritage Bandon shares with Tillamook. Unfortunately, the milk supply was not available in the volume or at the quality we expect, and the facility itself was below our standards for consistency. Our first step to improve quality was to move production of Bandon Cheese to our Tillamook facility. Following several years of declining sales, the difficult decision was made to discontinue a portion of the Bandon Cheese line. We continued to operate the store, despite declining sales, until late 2005 when dangers from the deteriorating building forced us to close it down. W
