Nurturing Natural Connections
We’re a mutual benefit trade organization
(501(c)(6) formed to cultivate a vibrant ecosystem for the natural products CPG sector throughout Central Oregon. Formerly known as “The Central Oregon Food Cluster,” the organization is re-emerging after a two-year transitional period in response to the pandemic.
Our mission is to listen and meet the specific needs of our growing population of CPG entrepreneurs, operators and leaders at every stage, and representative of every Central Oregon community— geographic, gender, racial, ethnic and culture.
Our foundation is an energized culture of collaboration that stimulates and strengthens symbiotic relationships, igniting new ideas and opportunities for growth and greater success.
We’re a conduit for the industry to build strategic partnerships– both large and small. Events and workshops provide a great way to build relationships and gain knowledge as well as a place for cultivating friendships.
We collaborate within the Central Oregon community, along with industry connections regionally and nationally, to identify resources that meet member needs, accelerating the acquisition of knowledge, wisdom, and strategic connections.
We inspire vision and creative problem solving by leveraging the rich experience and wisdom of industry veterans, from near and afar, who’ve already blazed the trails.
