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 — Blackberry Jam
Hand-picked blackberries from Marquam Hill Berries a small family farm in Central Oregon.
Slow-simmered to preserve whole-berry texture and bright, wild aroma.
Lightly sweetened with sugar and lifted with fresh lemon to balance tannins and accent natural pectin.
No artificial colors, fillers, or preservatives — just real fruit and careful craft.
Why this matters
Strengthens local food security: surplus fruit is processed into nutritious, long-lasting products that reduce waste and increase community access to food.
Supports small growers: farm partners receive finished goods at our cost of production, enabling them to offer value-added products at farmstands and markets without upfront processing expenses.
Short food miles and regional flavor: made from fruit grown nearby, conserving resources and celebrating Central Oregon.
Sustainable, hand-crafted production: small-batch techniques that prioritize quality, flavor, and environmental stewardship.
Every jar strengthens food security, supports a local farm family, and keeps Central Oregon flavors field to jar.
