bet Second Generation
In Local Creamery
"Pride of Oregon" is the pride
of the Cox family and the in
terior country which Morrow
County Creamery serves. The
creamery, now in the second
generation of the Cox family has
for Its registered trademark
"Pride of Oregon" pictured with
the Blue Mountains as back
ground with green meadows, a
creek and three contented
Guernsey cows!
Times have changed since
Claude Cox started the cream
ery back in 1916. Up until the
time colored oleo was packaged,
the creamery was making 1000
pounds of butter a day 4 or
times a week for 150,000 pounds
a year. It was about a year ago
this spring, they quit making
butter at the local plant because
there wasn t enough cream pro
duced in the area.
They are still buying cream
but this is shipped to the cream
ery at Redmond and then to the
Raven Creamery In Portland.
This is an exchange with the
creamery at Redmond for their
sweet cream butter. This is
brought to the local plant in a
68 pound brick that is cut and
wrapped with the Pride of Ore
gon label. Cottage cheese isn't
made locally but also comes as
Heart of Oregon from the Red
mond creamery and is distribut
ed by Morrow County Creamery.
Bill Cox
Bill Cox, owner and manager
of the Creamery is in charge
of Sales and Deliveries within a
60 mile radius. He drives about
1000 miles a week. He says con
sumption of Pride of Oregon ice
cream has increased per capita
but population is dropping in
the interior which he serves.
Ice Cream and Sherbet
D. R. Tash makes the ice
cream and sherbet with the help
of Clav Phillips. He makes all
the mixes from scratch. He mix
es up 10 gallons of sherbet mix
at once in a milk can. To make
orange sherbet he mixes water,
milk, orange flavor, citric acid
and stabilizer. This is frozen five
gallons at a time. In the soft
stage it is poured into contain
ers, capped and put into the
hardening room until solid. Tem
peratures are 15 to 20 degrees
below zero.
The milk for the ice cream
comes from the Hermiston Dairy.
It is poured into the stainless
steel receiving tank and by
stainless steel pipe goes to the
spray pasteurizer.
The heat unit is within the
walls of the unit which heats
the water that makes the
steam that raises the tempera
ture of the milk to 170 degrees
where it is held for 30 minutes.
The milk is gently agitated to
keep it from sticking.
Milk solids, sugar and stabil
izer is added to the milk and
cream which is piped into the
Homogenizer. The mix is forced
through the homogenizer valve
at 2500 pounds pressure. This
breaks down the fat globules
and other ingredients so they
won't separate.
Next it goes through the tub
ular cooler where it is cooled
down to 40 degrees. It is stored
in 10 gallon cans at 35 to 38
degrees until it is frozen.
Brownies
The vanilla Ice cream is pour
ed into long square pans. When
solid, it is sliced and chocolate

bacced and placed in cartons
and stored at 20 degrees below
zero until sold.
Ice Making
Blocks of ice 25 to 50 lb. are
cut from long blocks of ice
made in tanks. The tanks are
surrounded by a circulating cal
cium brine. Water freezes hard
in 36 hours. The tanks are lift
ed by hoist and the ice is then
sawed into blocks.
The ice maker which goes con
tinually makes 400 pounds of Ice
cubes a day. Water runs over
a refrigerant plate. The water is
recirculated over the plate. As
the sheet of Ice thickens and
gains the desired thickness, the
pump stops circulating the wa
ter. The sheet of Ice slides off
the refrigerant plate down on
steel cutter wires. The 5 amp
wires cut the sheet of ice into
the familiar ice pieces seen In
your fresh lemon coke at the
Wagon Wheel.
This ice is bagged and sold
at the grocery stores and deliv
ered to restaurants and taverns
whereever ice Is used
Doug Tash
Doug Tash has been working
In and around ice cream lor a
long time. In 1934, his father
had a confectionary store right
next to the Creamery then over
on Main St. He worked in the
creamery while he was in High
School
Where he really learned how
to make ice cream was the four
years he worked in the Hood
River Creamery after high
school, later two years at Hel
ena, Mont., and then for a year
at Cathlamet. He went to work
for the Mororw County Cream
ery in 1934.
Clay Phillips
Helping with the ice cream
operations at the creamery is
cutter of 50 years at Lexington,
Kinzua and Portland, he enjoys
working at the creamery. He was
born on Skinners Creek up Wil
low Creek.
Will the Morrow County
Creamery go to a third genera
tion? The Bill Coxs have five
sons but none seem to be in
terested In following their fath
er's and grandfather's footsteps.
David is in Spokane, Gayle in
San Franclcso and Bill in Port
land. John, senior at the Univer
sity of Oregon is home for the
summer and Tod, a sophomore
at Heppner High. The boys will
be working around the cream
ery this summer.
So this June Dairy month, we
salute one of Heppner's oldest
industries, Morrow County
Creamery!
