Welcome to Helvetia Creamery!

We are a family owned and operated creamery in Helvetia, Oregon, located on a 6th generation Century Farm. We specialize in artisan Swiss Alpine cheeses, made from the fresh milk of our Brown Swiss cows.

Cheesemaking is the sum of satisfying work, from tending our pastures and growing our hay to caring for our Brown Swiss calves as they mature into cows. It is the miracle of art and science coming full-circle to create the cheese of my great-grandfather. It is a reminder of past traditions and the gratification of handing down the love of hands-on work to my children.
