Well-known for its line of raw, fermented foods, its 2022 Good Food Award-winning organic Spicy Kraut boasts having “reached a flavor of nirvana that will enhance any meal.” The company creates top-quality, organic, lacto-fermented vegetables that contribute to their customers’ health and well-being. Oregon Brineworks’ main ingredients are sourced from organic farms within Hood River Valley to interconnect with the regional food system.

Owners Brian and Connie Shaw first met while running an organic farm. The company now “makes pickles in the summer when it is our local cucumber season, and we make our “Krauts” in the Fall and Winter when cabbage and our root crops are in their prime.”
