Our Programs
ONline farmers market
The North Coast Online Farmers Market is a year round, local food market supporting small farmers and food makers within 100 miles of Astoria, Oregon. The market aims to increase local food accessibility for low-income community members through accepting SNAP (formally food stamps) and FDNP payments; offering a 50% discount on fresh produce purchased with SNAP; and a home delivery service with no fee for low-income customers. The Market currently supports 42 local food vendors and 500+ customers annually.
Commercial kitchen rental
Our commercial kitchen is available for rent with highly discounted rates for local food businesses - with priority going to new food producers, people of color and renters identifying as low-income. This resource currently supports six businesses in developing and processing value-added food products.
We offer individualized food business support services to help beginning and small food businesses scale up to financial sustainability. These 1-on-1 services assist with packaging and food safety compliance, product pricing and marketing, navigating licensing and insurance and more. 35 food businesses were supported by this program in 2021.
