Whether you’re outfitting a vending machine at the Tillamook Creamery visitor center, a processing facility along Stillwell Road, or a hospitality venue near Highway 101, FitPick® makes it straightforward to offer healthier snack options that appeal to both local workforce and seasonal tourism traffic.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, a system that resonates especially well in Tillamook’s agriculture and food-processing sector where employees often work extended shifts and need convenient, nutritious grab-and-go options. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards, making it easy for dairy workers, hospitality staff, and visitors exploring the Blue Heron French Cheese Company or county fairgrounds to identify better-for-you choices.

Fit Pick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines. The most popular adult criteria is the 35-10-35 standard (max 35% calories from fat, max 10% from saturated fat, and max 35% product weight from sugar). Additionally, Fit Pick® provides labels for items meeting The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines—standards that align with Tillamook’s values around quality nutrition and responsible food production.

Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling offices in different locations to implement the same program seamlessly, whether your vending machines are positioned in downtown Tillamook’s Third Street commercial zone or rural outposts serving timber and forestry operations across the region.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering consumers—from Tillamook’s year-round residents to the thousands of visitors drawn by the county’s renowned attractions—to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines.

Health & Wellness Program

The FitPick® program recognizes the importance of functional foods,
acknowledging that snacks are often equivalent to meals.

VendVue is revolutionizing workplace vending across Tillamook by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and needs, particularly within the region’s agricultural, dairy processing, and seasonal hospitality workforce. While traditional vending machines offer up to 45 diverse products, including popular “pleasure foods” like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, Tillamook’s unique economy—anchored by dairy farming operations, the Tillamook Creamery’s workforce, and tourism-dependent businesses throughout the Highway 101 Corridor and Downtown Tillamook districts—demands vending solutions that reflect the nutritional priorities of hardworking agricultural employees, cheese production facility staff, and service industry workers who often work extended shifts. There’s a rising demand for healthier options among these communities, where workers in food processing, forestry, and agriculture services frequently face limited time for traditional meal breaks. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions specifically designed for Tillamook’s workforce needs. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients throughout neighborhoods like the Marolf Loop business area, the Pacific Avenue District, and Stillwell Road commercial zones, catering to their wellness requirements with a variety of healthy alternatives that support both employee wellbeing and operational productivity.

Here are the Top Ten Smart Snacking Tips to keep you energized and satisfied all day:

  1. Regular Snacking: Whether you’re working a shift at one of Tillamook’s food processing facilities, guiding tourists through the famous Creamery, or managing dairy operations across the county, keeping your energy up throughout the day is essential—refuel with snacks several times to maintain focus and stamina.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Tillamook’s agricultural and forestry workers understand the value of sustained energy; choose cereal or granola bars packed with protein and fiber for longer-lasting fullness during long workdays.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Seasonal tourism employees and commercial fishing crews along the coast often need quick, satisfying options—reach for low-fat, low-calorie choices like pretzels or baked chips to satisfy mid-day cravings.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: In rural areas like the Highway 101 Corridor and Stillwell Road business zones where convenient access to fresh food can be limited, pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads available through vending machines offer high nutritional value and real convenience.
  5. Protein and Calcium: For workers in Tillamook’s dairy sector and beyond, a healthy boost from low-fat milk or yogurt is always within reach at strategically placed vending machines.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Living and working in Tillamook doesn’t mean denying yourself—enjoy sweet treats in moderation without completely cutting them out.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers are lower-fat options that pair perfectly with low-fat milk for added protein, ideal for workers in the Third Street commercial zone and downtown areas.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Pick a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts—a staple for those working in agriculture services and forestry who need portable protein and fiber.
  9. Stay Hydrated: In Tillamook’s variable coastal climate, thirst is often mistaken for hunger, so keep water close at hand throughout your shift or tourist visit.
  10. Balanced Snacking: For Tillamook’s workforce and visitors alike, variety, balance, and moderation are key to smart snacking that sustains you through a full day.
