Supporting the local food movement on the Central Oregon Coast
What is the Central Coast Food Web?
With a state-of-the-art processing facility, local online market, and business support for producers, the CCFW is strengthening our local, coastal and regional food systems by providing services and support to small, independent food producers and making it easier for all people to eat local food.

PRODUCERS
We provide shared space and equipment for producers who grow and land seafood on the Central Coast to process and store food in the Yaquina Lab in Newport, Oregon.

FARM + FISH MARKET
Our online market supports fishers and farmers growing and landing seafood in Lincoln County, Oregon. Enjoy easy access to the incredible variety of foods grown and harvested in your own coastal community.
The Yaquina Lab
One of our core missions here at the CCFW is to help provide extra support to our local fishers and farmers, by way of the Yaquina Lab. The Lab is a fully functional processing facility, complete with blast freezers, fridges, dry storage, cleaning stations, a vacuum sealer, plus a commercial-grade dehydrator and smoker, giving you the opportunity to bring your products to market without requiring you to buy all the equipment yourself. In addition to being a hub of action for our online market and producers, the Yaquina Lab is a great place to host community events, plus has offices and a conference room for rent.
“I have been in the fishing industry my whole life. I have seen firsthand how Oregon fishers have demonstrated success in achieving sustainability standards. Yet economic and market access is still limited. How can we call ourselves sustainable when we can’t even feed our own communities? Most Oregon seafood is exported out of the region while Oregon communities are finding it difficult to find and by local seafood. The Central Coast Food Web was founded to provide the space and services to food producers to make it easier for people to find and eat local foods. ”
