SUPPORT LOCAL TODAY!
Savor the vibrant taste of late-summer harvests with our artisanal Tomato Basil Marinara. Crafted in small batches using sun-ripened, locally grown tomatoes from Well Rooted Produce and fresh basil, this thick, slow-simmered sauce brings rich, authentic flavor straight from Central Oregon soil to your dinner table.
Grounded in simple, wholesome ingredients, our marinara delivers a warm, herbaceous profile that elevates pasta dishes, shakshuka, flatbreads, and pizza!
Sourced from Well Rooted Produce: Made with prime, locally harvested Central Oregon tomatoes and basil.
Small-Batch Artisanal Quality: Slow-cooked to bring out natural tomato sweetness and deep, savory depth.
Mission-Driven Preservation: Every jar purchased directly supports Cascades Cannery’s 501(c)(3) mission to reduce farm surplus and build food security across our regional food system.
Cascades Cannery partners with Central Oregon farms to transform surplus fruit into high-quality, shelf-stable goods that keep food local, support growers, and put fresh flavor back into the community.
Product highlight — Raspberry Jam
Hand-picked raspberries from Marquam Hill Berries, a small family farm in Central Oregon.
Slow-simmered to preserve whole-berry texture, vivid color, and the bright, wild aroma unique to regional raspberries.
Lightly sweetened with sugar and brightened with fresh lemon to balance tannins and coax natural pectin.
No artificial colors, fillers, or preservatives — just real fruit and careful craft.
Why this matters
Strengthens local food security: surplus raspberries are turned into nutritious, long-lasting jam that reduces waste and increases community access to wholesome food.
Supports small growers: our farm partners receive finished goods at cost of production, enabling them to offer value-added products at farmstands and markets without taking on processing expenses.
Short food miles and regional flavor: made from fruit grown nearby, conserving resources while celebrating Central Oregon’s distinctive tastes.
Sustainable, hand-crafted production: small-batch techniques that prioritize quality, flavor, and environmental stewardship.
Product-to-product continuity
Like our other preserves, Raspberry Jam follows Cascades Cannery’s field-to-jar philosophy: we source surplus fruit from trusted local farms, apply gentle, preservative-free methods to maintain maximum flavor, and return jars to the community and growers.
Compared with our blackberry and mixed-berry offerings, raspberry jam emphasizes bright acidity, tartness and fine seeds that give it a distinctive mouthfeel and pairing profile—ideal on toast, stirred into yogurt, tucked into thumbprint cookies, or paired with soft cheeses.
Each jar continues the chain of impact: preventing waste on the farm, sustaining small-scale agriculture, and keeping Central Oregon flavor circulating locally.
Every jar strengthens food security, supports a local farm family, and keeps Central Oregon flavors field to jar.
Crisp, tangy, and naturally fermented, our artisanal sauerkraut brings the rich agricultural bounty of Central Oregon straight to your table. Hand-crafted in small batches using fresh cabbage grown locally at Well Rooted Produce, this raw ferment is packed with naturally occurring probiotics, digestive enzymes, and vibrant, crunch-forward flavor.
Unlike heat-processed canned sauerkraut, ours is raw, unpasteurized, and active—preserving vital nutrients and live cultures from kitchen to fridge. Packed in recyclable 32 oz glass mason jars, it’s the ultimate farm-fresh addition to bratwursts, grain bowls, sandwiches, or enjoyed straight out of the jar.
Sourced from Fields Farm: Grown right here in Central Oregon using sustainable farming practices.
Keep Refrigerated: Unpasteurized with live probiotics to maximize gut health and crisp texture.
Mission-Driven Preservation: Every jar purchased supports Cascades Cannery’s 501(c)(3) non-profit work to strengthen regional food security.
