Every time I drive by this place, I want to stop in but it's usually a weekday and they're currently only open weekends. I finally got a chance to visit on a Saturday and since it was lunch time, ordered myself a corn dog. The cashier inside was charming and helpful and the guy making my corn dog was cheerful and also very helpful. Sitting outside under the canopy on a bright spring day was the perfect place to eat my corn dog and scarf up the garlic dill cheddar curds. If you haven't had their cheese curds, you don't know what you're missing! I need to go back sometime to see the cows and their babies and get a tour of their operation. Sounds like another adventure in the making. read more

Amazing! We did the premium "cowlebrity" tour. I took my 6 year old and 3 year old as well as my parents and everyone had a blast. Educational, hands on and a great experience. Ended with a big board of cheese that the kids devoured. Definitely recommend. We will try to be back when family comes to visit again. read more

This is a wonderful family owned place with cows, calves, and homemade ice cream that is the creamiest. The people here are gentle and kind. Good visit every time. read more

This farm is located in the more rural part of Canby. It is a very nice, intimate space. There is typically some sort of food cart on the exterior. You can get items like the cowcohol or milkshakes inside the store. As your progress to the side of the property, there is a closed area with stools where the distillery is. Next to that is the feeding area for the adult cows. We were there on a scheduled Friday on a tour with Marc. He gave us a thorough history and explained everything. He was very friendly, approachable, and patient with the kids. They each had the opportunity to milk two cows and help clean up afterwards. We ended the night by visiting the stalls. There were plenty of fresh calves that were only a few weeks old. Our daughters were handed some milk bottles to give them. To boot, the highlight of the evening was a cow actively giving birth to a baby! Definitely a beautiful place to visit, especially during the warmer days. The animals are clearly treated well. Staff is super welcoming. It's a great family affair! read more

Had a nice little visit to TMK today for both the food and the alcohol. My favorite parts were the marionberry grilled cheese and the cowlebrities..... though the corn dog was great too! I do wish there was better explanation of what parts are open to the public. read more

Wow what an awesome place!! My wife, myself, and my 4 year old daughter were visiting Portland and were deciding whether we should go for a long drive to see the Tilamook factory. I wanted to do something a bit more intimate and maybe not quite as far of a drive and after searching, learned about the TMK creamery. It was perfect!! It's not that far from portland, the drive is nice, and the place was exactly what we wanted. We all loved seeing the happy cows, my daughter absolutely had a blast seeing the baby calves and feeding the cows hay. You can tell this place treats their cows well. After spending a very long time with the cows, we got some ice cream which was delicious. We also bought some cheese curds which were the best cheese curds I've ever had. They were somehow more creamy than others I've had, and not quite as "squeaky" if that makes sense. It was fantastic. The workers behind the counter were really nice, and the area where you eat is really clean and bright. I would highly recommend visiting this place. I also got to sample their vodka which was good as well! read more

TMK Creamery is a spectacular little family-run dairy farm, with something truly for everyone. I mean, who doesn't love cute, cuddly cows and calves, ice cream, cheese and, of course...cowcohol! Wait...what is cowcohol you ask? Why, vodka distilled from whey protein, of course! Nominally, whey is a by-product of the milk manufacturing process, but I guess the slogan here at TMK is "whey-st not, want not!" Oof...yeah, that was a groan-worthy pun. Better keep moo-ving on with this review! We took a guided tour of the distilling process (FYI, TMK is believed to be the only hybrid creamery/distillery in the world), spend some quality time with their "cow-lebrities", including Miss TMK (a bovine beauty so special, she has her very own single-cow cheese!), and be treated to some free ice cream in their farm store, which also serves up smoothies, burgers and sandwiches, charcuterie boards, fried cheese curds, and other dairy delectables! We purchased a booze strawberry smoothie, made with that fantastic cowcohol, as well a 375ml bottle of the stuff to take home (for $39.95). Vodka is generally a bit too potent to take straight, but TMK's offering is smooth enough to sip on its own, so we can't wait to experiment with it! I only wish they sold larger bottles. TMK is a little off the beaten path, but it's a wholesome, family-friendly, family-run operation, that takes great pride and care in their livestock, and the products they produce from them, from start to finish. Very recommended for anyone looking to spend a day learning where the groceries we take for granted come from, and meet the people who keep us fed, fat and happy! read more

Such a fun place! The first time I came here it was dark and raining, and it felt like a MISSION. But the second time I came it was sunny, and that was a very pleasant drive through the countryside. The fried cheese curds are incredible. I wish they had a spicy dipping sauce or something to break up the fatttiness a bit more. But I love these and I would order them again and again, alongside a beer. I think what this place is doing is super fun. I love the distilled fermented whey (aka cowcohol) vanilla extract! You can walk around and pet the cows. I really like this place. read more

Not a bad place and the girls inside are always the nicest but this time we got some food from the food truck and it wasn't so nice I love their hot dogs in the freezer and their milkshakes but I think it will be quite some time before I come back to try anything from the food truck again read more

Spent a couple of hours at TMK in Canby today. Loved hearing one of the brothers telling us about the dairy operation. We got to meet the baby cows and learn about the dairy business. So interesting! Then we went into the creamery and shop. We bought seasoned cheese curds which should be great with scrambled eggs. We also bought a steak which I am eating as I write this review. So yummy!! Shop at their store! Good things are there. For hot food, go to their food truck. Everything coming out looked great but we had dinner plans so did not order anything The owners and family are friendly and nice. We are planning to go out again soon if only for the cheese curds and steaks! But also to check in on the babies! They are a family committed to sustainable farming. Let's all go out to support them! read more

SCAM, SCAM!!!! Beware, you will pay and never receive your order. I have emailed over and over again with ZERO response, just called the company in Oregon just to be told that they have no way to help me with my order and they have no way to contact the distributors in New Jersey. read more

TMK is such a unique spot, it's definitely worth checking out- especially if you have a group and are looking to spend some time there. They allow self guided tours to see the calves and cows onsite. They have outdoor seating- and a fire pit that looks like it would be nice on cooler days- plus a food truck and beers on tap. The draw is really that they give tours of the creamery for both the dairy side and the new "cowcohol" distilling. The Vodka is delicious and would make a great gift. They have a bit of a messy indoor shop/counter space- it's chaotic with merchandise all around the perimeter and no clear place to stand in "line" which may only be an issue at busy times. read more

This place is so cool and unique! They let you walk around the grounds to see the cows (and baby cows!) and have a paper tour guide to explain the operation there. They have a lot of seating inside and outside (covered too!). They have local beers and some mixed cocktails with their house made vodka. You can even get a milkshake and have it with the vodka. Everyone we talked to that had one said they were amazing (and they even have pumpkin flavored shakes rn!) We got the cheese curds and the Mac and cheese (regular). The cheese curds had a little too much salt on them but the portions are great for the price! The Mac and cheese was amazing! They also have a fridge inside with their products if you want to take anything home! A little off the beaten path it seems but definitely worth the drive for this unique experience! read more

Fun place to visit and good food. Tried the deep fried cheese curds, Marionberry grill cheese sandwich, and had a home made marionberry shake. It was all very good. Service was friendly and fast. A bonus is the farm is a working dairy that allows you too walk into the cow barn and calf barn. They also make vodka from the whey left over from making cheese. read more

Awesome place to visit! Fun for the whole family. I recommend the fried cheese curds, they are amazing!

TMK Creamery was a great way to finish out our trip up north. We have had the curds before and stocked up on those and some other cheeses we haven't tried yet. Yum! We sampled the Cowcohol and can't wait for them to have more in stock. What a great family run business. We will be back. read more

Stopped in to see this place recently. They have a nice set-up: food truck outside, cheese and meat to sell inside, a viewing window to watch cheese making (when they are producing) plus GREAT soft serve ice cream. They also started making vodka out of milk whey!! Wow, who knew!! There is a window in the distillery "hut" so you can watch from outside. Well worth the stop to check it out!! read more

Great place in the country to see where your milk comes from. Interact with the cows. And have a delicious toasted cheese sandwich or ice cream! read more

We went for a milking tour. Was absolutely amazing! Even two 14 year olds loved it! Wonderful atmosphere, excellent food. Ice cream was best I've had. Definitely recommend! read more

My friend and I went here for the first time and what a pleasant surprise! There was only one woman behind the counter, but she was so polite to each and every one in the long line. She explained the tour, the farm, and even made delicious bloody Mary's for those that ordered them. Everyone had a good time and the ambiance was terrific! We plan on taking some of our friends on the next trip! And the calves were adorable! read more

I took my niece to the Creamery for her moms birthday. My sister Linda past away from ALS in 2011. We like to celebrate her and visit places she would enjoy. We made a great choice with attending the Charcuterie Board workshop. Shauna was so gracious and attentive. We had a wonderful lunch, beverage and dessert with our workshop. Everything was DELICIOUS! The atmosphere is friendly and we were given a fun tour around the creamery too. Met some cute hard working cows. Thank you for making my sista's birthday so special. We will definitely be back. read more

I had this and it's pretty good I got the grilled Mac. It was good. Also there pizza was good. I would strongly recommend this place
