General Info
Watonga Cheese Factory was founded in 1940 in Watonga, Oklahoma. It was purchased in 2002 by Casey and Brandi Cowan. Then in 2007 tragedy struck when a tropical storm brought 80-mile-an-hour winds and 9 to 11 inches of rain and the factory was destroyed. The City of Perryton, Texas offered incentives to the Cowans to rebuild there and the factory was re-opened in 2010. Watonga Cheese Factory was voted "Best Cheese in Texas" Voted the “Best Cheese in Texas” in 2014, Watonga Cheese Factory still uses the same recipe and the same equipment that makes them stand out from the rest, and prides itself in its 70-year tradition to produce rich, handmade cheddar cheese full of flavor. In addition to producing all-natural cheddar cheese at it's location, the factory has a retail store where you can buy its mild cheddar, sharp cheddar, bacon cheddar, cheddar pepper, and onion cheddar cheeses. It also sells cheese curds (the freshest part of the cheese before whey is pressed out), along with approximately 50 different kinds of other manufacturers’ cheeses. During the cooler weather seasons, they will ship their products all over the United States. Our mailing address, which is different from our physical address, is: PO Box 1246, Perryton, TX 79070-1246
