This little shop is absolutely adorable and full of charm. Most of their products are locally sourced, and you can feel the care that goes into the selection. The cheese and condiment options were phenomenal, truly one of the best curated selections I've seen in the area. They also have a cute wine bar tucked in the back, which adds to the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The sandwiches and deli items in the case looked so good that I'm already planning to come back for lunch next time I'm in town. Everything looked fresh, high quality, and thoughtfully put together. The staff was friendly, kind, and clearly passionate about what they do. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the products. A wonderful little spot with great people and even better cheese, I'll definitely be back to enjoy "good company" in every sense of the name!

We ordered 2 craft cocktails off their well rounded cocktail menu. I love floral cocktails so I ordered a Rose Negroni $12 and my husband ordered a bourbon cocktail Lindsey's Lament $13. We loved them! For lunch we ordered pimento dip with crackers a SALUMI SANDWICH $14 fennel salami, Fra'Mani mortadella and capicollo. provolone, Mama Lil's peppers, & basil pesto on sourdough bread and a BRIE, HAM, 8 JAM SANDWICH $14 with double crème Brie, Oregon apricot jam, and Fra'Mani sweet apple ham on sour dough bread. Both sandwiches were fresh and delicious. Since we were the only customers on this quiet afternoon, we sat for a while enjoying our cocktails and sandwiches planning our next visit.

Oh boy. This place is special. From now on when anyone asks if I want to go to the cheese factory,…read moreI will need to make sure to specify that this is what I mean. All of the cheeses to sample was delightful. I may have taken my kids share as seconds. I got the quesadillas. I don't think it's an accurate description. Maybe slightly like a quesataco but more than a taco. Great way to showcase the cheese though. I chose kind of haphazardly because I definitely liked one more than the other but couldn't distinguish later. This is probably the best pastor I've had so far. I know of some that are no longer with us but this was close. Ice cream was amazing too. Lochmead is a high quality product and they sell it for a very reasonable price. The wife got the chile relleno. Great ingredient to feature the cheese. Would definitely get again. Without a doubt my new favorite cheese factory

You can purchase in the gift shop and feed the animals outside. There's a donkey, goats, geese, and a few other others. I enjoy feeding them. The only problem this trip was I had my dog with me and he got a little crazy at the fence line. Part of the fence has chicken wire across the bottom but part of it doesn't and of course that's the part. My dog found it jumped inside. It was funny, not funny. Gift shop is great. I really miss going up and down the aisles and finding the pretzel sticks and samples of what's on the shelf. It was a good thing to look forward to and I enjoyed it. If you're in Tillamook, I would stop in. It's a great place for kids and picnic outside. There's also a separate candy shop on the premises. Great candy and some old school stuff that I had not seen in quite some time.

The property has a lot to offer, including a small petting farm, a gift shop, and an eatery all in one place. The paninis were especially delicious and definitely worth trying. As for the wine tasting, the selection was great and I still enjoyed the experience overall. However, the bartender wasn't very friendly or knowledgeable, which took away slightly from the experience. Even so, it was a fun stop with plenty to see and experience. I do recommend over other popular cheese factories in the area.

It's a cute little store with parking in front, decorated in lively Mexican colors and doodads. They have a little bit of other merchandise like salsa and chips, but really it's all about the queso.

I was warmly welcomed by a nice young woman asking if I have ever been in before? Probably because she noticed the look on my face as if I were a kid in a candy shop! Well pretty darn close, the scent alone was divine and then she offered samples to help make my decision easier, with so many flavors of freshly made flavored popcorn to choose from. They have a few seasonal flavors which I had to grab along with some classics. A few drizzled in deliciousness or dusted with cheese. They have savory and sweet, salty and sour. Like for instance the pickles and popcorn flavor or rosemary parm. They even have a caramel cheese. I grabbed a seasonal peppermint and Santa's mix. If you buy more than 5 bag then they are $10 a bag. Of course it's the holiday season and I figured why not grab a few extra bags while I'm here to add to a gift.
