  Tillamook County Creamery Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tillamook County Creamery Association is a dairy co-operative headquartered in Tillamook County, Oregon.
The association's main facility is the Tillamook Cheese Factory located two miles north of the small town of Tillamook, Oregon on U.S. Highway 101; a second cheese-making facility was built at Boardman, Oregon in 2001.
In 1854, several farmers from the county built a schooner named the Morning Star to transport butter to Portland, Oregon; the schooner is now featured as part of the co-op's logo, and a full-sized replica is on display on the creamery grounds.

 Cooperative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the European Union and in large regions of America, cooperatives, with associations, foundations and mutual funds are considered parts of the Social economy.
The cooperative movement often has links and associations with Green politics or Socialist politics, with socially responsible investing, and with the social enterprise movement.
A housing cooperative is a legal mechanism for ownership of housing where residents either own shares (share capital co-op) reflecting their equity in the co-operative's real estate, or have membership and occupancy rights in a not-for-profit co-operative (non-share capital co-op), and they underwrite their housing through paying subscriptions or rent.

When the creamery bought Bandon Cheese in 2000, it acquired the name as a federally registered trademark, and has suggested to a couple of businesses using "Bandon" that they alter their name.
The creamery paid out $12 million in wages to Tillamook employees last year and $80 million in milk receipts for Tillamook County, as its second largest employer, with about 470 people drawing a paycheck.
The International Dairy Deli Bakery Association, of which the creamery is a member, published a book in 2002 called "Battle of the Brands," the result of a study of 900 consumers and 200 retailers nationwide.

The Tillamook County Creamery Association said Friday it has asked all of its 147 member farmers to halt use of the recombinant bovine somatotropin hormone, or rBST, because of customer requests to do so.

In its statement, the creamery association said "Monsanto has been especially vigorous in trying to dissuade" the dairy cooperative from banning the hormone, and accused the company of trying "to drive a wedge" between the association and its members.

 Cheese giant loses ‘Tillamook’ case - February 7, 2004
For nearly 92 years, the makers of the award-winning Tillamook Cheddar shared the Tillamook name with other businesses, as well as a county, a city, a bay, a river — and the large jerky operation.
Creamery officials said that they had no problem with the smoker until approximately 1997, when the smoker began to aggressively market to grocery superchains such as Albertsons, where its cheese has long been sold.
The case in Tillamook is not as extreme, said Mosman, since both the cheese and the jerky have been in national stores for more than a decade.

On Feb. 18, the Tillamook County Creamery Association announced that it had asked all of its 147 member farmers to halt the use of the recombinant bovine somatotropin hormone, or rBST, because of concerns raised by consumers.

While the decision by the Tillamook Creamery Association to try to cancel TCS’ federal trademark registration after 25 years of use (in the Association’s own store no less) is dubious, Rogue of the Week’s (mis)reporting of the story is also questioned.
Judge Mosman’s order to remove Tillamook Jerky from TCS’ website domain name (which Rogue reports as the ultimate outcome) was, in fact, a mere concession offered by TCS two years ago before it filed suit for trademark protection against the Association.

 RoguePundit: The Oregon Cheese Wars--The Battle Over Jerky
The Tillamook County Creamery Association, the cooperative that makes the Bandon and Tillamook Cheeses, has drawn the ire of officials in Bandon, Oregon for harassing local businesses that have used the name Bandon in their title for years (most recent blog here).
Yesterday, a judge ruled that the Tillamook Country Smoker, jerky manufacturers since 1976 and ninth largest jerky manufacturer in the nation, can keep using their name, though they have to drop the advertising phrase "Tillamook Jerky" they started using two years ago.

U.S. District Judge Michael Mosman ruled that Tillamook Country Smoker and the Tillamook County Creamery Association — also known as Tillamook Cheese —; can use the name of the ancient Indian tribe in their business logos.
Earlier, the judge ruled that although the cheesemaker had registered the "Tillamook" name in 1921 — more than five decades before the smoker existed — it had failed to assert its ownership over the trademark once the smoker began using it.
The name "Tillamook" was first recorded in the journals of explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, who reached the area of modern-day Tillamook in 1806, said Richard Engeman, public historian for the Oregon Historical Society.
