TMK Farm began a registered dairy program around 1987 when Todd Koch bought his first Holstein heifer. By 1997 our milking cow herd grew to the point of establishing our own dairy facility and, through a tremendous family effort, we built a dairy in Canby, Oregon. Over the years, TMK Farm has established an aggressive breeding program to institute excellent dairy genetics. Todd and his youngest brother Marc have conscientiously bred for reliable and extreme dairy cows that are comfortable both in the show ring and on the farm.

Our family has enjoyed showing Holstein and Jersey cattle through the years and is devoted to promoting the dairy industry by participating in several local, state, and national events. TMK Farm is a small, family farm that has enjoyed the privilege of dairying and continues diligently breeding for exceptional dairy genetics. The “dairy cow” has provided us the opportunity to cultivate some great friendships and exciting dairy genetics. It all starts on the farm.

Meet the Cheesemaker

TMK Creamery Cheesemakers Image

When the TMK family farm decided to start making and selling cheese, sibling Shauna Garza jumped at the opportunity to be the company's head cheesemaker. Shauna started taking milk to Oregon State University's pilot plant, where she learned how to develop new recipes and manage a cheese plant. She spent months learning all about the cheesemaking process, food safety, and even studied at teh Food Innovation Center in Portland. There, she was able to develop the recipes TMK uses to make their specialty cheeses. Shauna's love and appreciation for her family's herd is transferred to consumers thorugh her wonderfully deliscious cheeses.
