    About

    Cultivate Bend

     

    We’re a mutual benefit trade organization

    (501(c)(6) formed to cultivate a vibrant ecosystem for the natural products CPG sector throughout Central Oregon. Formerly known as “The Central Oregon Food Cluster,” the organization is re-emerging after a two-year transitional period in response to the pandemic.  

     

    Our mission is to listen and meet the specific needs of our growing population of CPG entrepreneurs, operators and leaders at every stage, and representative of every Central Oregon community— geographic, gender, racial, ethnic and culture.

     

  • Who we serve

    Our vibrant ecosystem is being built by membership representing three symbiotic categories:

    1

    Decision makers, leaders, and team members of natural products CPG brands

    You are tenacious and ambitious, with an entrepreneurial mindset. You’re constantly moving forward– with stagnation never being an option. You are either already located in Central Oregon or thinking of moving your business here.

    2

    Decision makers, leaders and team members of adjacent categories to natural products brands

    You thrive because of, and in support of, the natural products CPG category. CPG brands from adjacent sectors, suppliers, investors, distributors, brokers, retailers, co-manufacturers, and services providers such as legal, accounting, advisory, and creative.

    3

    Movers, shakers, and influencers in the business community

    You’re affiliated with an economic development group, such as OEN, Built Oregon, Business Oregon, Starve Ups, EDCO, City of Bend, Redmond, Sisters, Prineville, Madras or La Pine, chambers of commerce, City Club, as well as other organizations & leaders in the natural products CPG space throughout Oregon.
