Honestly, I felt like driving through rural parts of Germany when I first visited Tillamook and this was just something I didn\u2019t expect from an Oregon coast town. And the cows are there for a reason: Tillamook is <strong>home to the famous Tillamook Creamery<\/strong> whose products you\u2019ve probably seen in various supermarkets already: Cheese, yogurt, ice cream, anything milky you can think of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting the Tillamook Creamery is a must!
