Producer

Oregon Brineworks has been making certified organic, fermented foods since 2013. Our farm is on Markham road in Hood River and we have been farming organically since 2009 at this location. Our small farm has cherries, apples, plums and we also grow heirloom dry beans, hot peppers, dill and an assortment of other veggies. We have been farming for 20 years organically and our current focus is on producing raw, fermented foods grown by organic farmers in Oregon and Washington. We are passionate about our quest for creating delicious, healthy foods from produce grown within our region. We created Oregon Brineworks to directly contribute to our regional food system and to provide a reliable outlet for local organic farmers.

Brian and Connie Shaw met while running an organic farm. Their passion for produce, farming and the big outdoors quickly united the duo. Together they continue to hone their life skills, learning what it takes to truly contribute to a community, while also becoming more self-reliant and leaving less of a footprint on the land from which we thrive. Our pursuit of healthy living defines our choices and has led us down this path of creating a natural fermentation business. We are passionate about our quest for creating delicious, healthy foods from produce grown within our region. We created Oregon Brineworks to directly contribute to our regional food system and to provide a reliable outlet for local organic farmers. We want to bolster our food economy and make local foods healthier and more accessible on a year round basis. We live on an organic farm in Hood River Oregon where we grow a plethora of perennial fruit and annual vegetable gardens. Come visit us at our farm or come check out our fermentation operation up in the Hood River Valley. We look forward to sharing our healthy, fermented foods with you all.
