Who we are.

We are a group of passionate people on a mission to build and nourish a vibrant local food agricultural system in Clatskanie, Oregon! The Clatskanie Farmer Collective is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, we offer community based market opportunities that connect local growers to buyers in Clatskanie and throughout the North Coast of Oregon. We offer a variety of products, services, and events to support local agriculture, economy, and culture. Learn more about our year-round Food Hub, seasonal Farmers Market, classes & events, Community Garden and how to join the fun.

We strive to create a market where everyone can feel safe, respected, and uplifted by one another. There is no tolerance in our market for racism, discrimination, harassment, hate, or violence.

We acknowledge the land we now call Clatskanie as the traditional territory of the Siletz, Grande Ronde, Clatsop, and Chinook Tribal nations. We also acknowledge the Tribal governments and their roles today in taking care of these lands.
