Overview

Mission

Clatskanie Farmer Collective cultivates a resilient local agricultural system by increasing market opportunities, community engagement, and producer support.

What it reported doing in 2025

Food Hub: year-round marketplace for Columbia County offering locally & regionally grown produce, meat, eggs, dairy, dry goods and tasty value-added foods. Including a food literacy classroom and venue. Coming in June 2023.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
