Cheese War: Conflict and Courage in Tillamook County, Oregon

In the 1960s, a bitter fight over money and management inside the dairy cooperatives behind Tillamook cheese split an entire county, sending neighbors to court and leaving families on opposite sides. Sisters Marilyn Milne and Linda Kirk grew up on a Tillamook dairy farm while their father, a cooperative board president, stood at the center of the dispute. They pair years of research with their own childhood memories to tell the story of the Cheese War and how it shaped one of Oregon's best-known brands.
