Blue Heron French Cheese Company
This charming vintage farm has been a milestone on the Tillamook Coast for more than 30 years. Its picturesque scenery stretches for 40 acres, inviting visitors to get a taste of what life on a farm has consisted of for the past several decades. Originally a Grade A Jersey farm, it was purchased in 1978 to make its now-famous brie cheese. The 1930’s Dutch colonial barn housing the deli and gift shop has a distinct Old World feel, it’s like stepping back in time.
