Preserve What Matters
Cascades Cannery is a Central Oregon 501(c)(3) nonprofit enhancing local food security by partnering with farms to turn peak produce into shelf-stable foods that support farmers and the community year-round.

Good Food Shouldn’t Go to Waste
Each season, thousands of pounds of locally grown food are lost due to short harvest windows, market limitations, and lack of preservation infrastructure. Farmers are left without options, and valuable food never reaches the community.
