Three years ago this week, we opened the Clatskanie Food Hub to our community for the first time.
Back then, we were operating out of what we used to jokingly call a “closet of a grocery store” tucked into the back of the building. It was small, but it gave us a place to start.
Today, the Food Hub occupies the entire building, offers expanded hours, represents more than 100 regional producers, and has grown into a community gathering space, an educational center, and now a commercial kitchen creating even more opportunities for local food.
To celebrate our third birthday, we’re releasing our 2025 Annual Report, a look back at a year of growth, challenges, and community impact. You can read the full report here: https://canva.link/11qbrynskf7s6zc
A few highlights from 2025:
• $278,513 in Food Hub sales
• $143,643 in Farmers Market sales
• More than 100 regional producers represented
• Retail space doubled in size on July 4th
• Major progress on our kitchen project
If you've been part of this in any way, this report is yours too.
None of this happens without our farmers, ranchers, fishers, makers, volunteers, customers, donors, community partners, and supporters. Every purchase, donation, market visit, class registration, and encouraging conversation has helped make this possible.
Consistently supporting local farms and food makers builds strong, resilient communities. Together, we get a little closer everyday. Thanks for doing your part.
And because birthdays should be celebrated, everyone who visits the Food Hub June 11-15 will receive a free non alcoholic drink from our new drink menu!
It’s been an honor to build this with you all. Here’s to year four!
