Who we are

The Oregon Organic Hazelnut Collective (OOHC) is the only group providing education, building community, and creating resources specific to Oregon’s organic hazelnut industry. OOHC members are invited to join one of our working groups to help with this meaningful and important transition towards an organic future. The working groups are:

  • Education

  • Community

  • Resources

  • Summer Tour

  • Administration

OOHC was established in 2017 and has conducted an annual summer farm tour since 2018. A volunteer Advisory Committee directs the organization. Growers and others can enjoy benefits by becoming a member.

The OOHC is a program of Cascade Pacific RC&D, a 501c3 non-profit organization.
