Josh Archibald

Growing up with a large family meant a lot of time was spent in the kitchen in the Archibald home. From a young age, Josh was drawn to the process of feeding people and the genuine satisfaction that a handmade meal can provide. This instilled in him the belief that time spent cooking and sharing a meal with loved ones is the most valuable time we have on this earth.

Starting as a dishwasher at the age of 14, he quickly pushed to learn about the industry and the craft of cooking, but more importantly the art of true hospitality. Josh attended culinary school, graduating with honors at Oregon Culinary Institute, and worked his way through kitchens on the Oregon Coast, defining and developing his own food thesis and learning the craft of hospitality before joining Tillamook in early 2020. As the first chef on staff at Tillamook, Josh was able to help define our food offerings at the Creamery. Now, he prides himself as a brand advocate to consumers nationwide, empowering both retail consumers and restaurant operators on best usages, exciting trends, new ideas and best practices of our beloved Tillamook line of products.

Josh is a steward for food sustainability and an Oregon Coast native who digs razor clams, goes crabbing and loves sturgeon and chanterelle mushrooms. Recently, Josh joined an esteemed group of culinary leaders as a member of the World Central Kitchen Chef Corps – one of only 400 in the world.
