At Tillamook, we know a lot about making cheese , and we know quite a bit about the 25,000 bovines that graze in the lush, green pastures of Tillamook County. We hope you ll use a few of the following exercises to bring a little bit of rural living to your classroom.
Advertising Campaigns Have student s design advertising campaigns to market dairy products.
Making Butter Spend an afternoon making butter with your class by simply filling a clear jar half full with liquid whipping cream from the dairy case of your local grocery store. Let students take turns shaking the jar. At Tillamook, we dry the whey, which you will find listed as a major ingredient in lots of foods like Oreo cookies and Doritos potato chips. Spread butter over saltines and sample. What a great example of how milk is turned into a variety of dairy products.
