Thank you to our sponsors who without their
show of support for Camp Fire USA at The Northwest Food and Wine Festival
Camp Fire USA would not be able to fund projects that enhance the lives of children
allowing them to become caring, confident youth and future leaders.
Camp Fire USA Portland Metro Council offers three Core Programs: School Based Program, Camp Namanu and Small Group Programs. By attending the festival you
will be helping to fund programs that include academic and social enrichment, life-skills training, mentoring, and service learning. The Camp Fire goal is to provide young people with the skills and motivation they need to achieve milestones such as high school graduation, higher education, meaningful employment and active involvement in our communities.

Haggen has been called “the store that has it all”–and for good reason. Here, you'll not only find the USDA Choice Angus beef; fresh veal and lamb; fresh local and exotic seafood; all natural pork with no additives; premium quality fresh fruits and vegetables; deli and baked goods, but a FTD Floral Shop, Market Street Café, an in-store Starbucks Coffee shop (in most stores) and much more.
Hama Hama® oysters and clams are farmed at the mouth of Washington State's Hamma Hamma River, at the intersection of fresh water and salt, on gravelly beaches created over centuries by winter floods. At lowest tide, the flats extend almost a mile into Hood Canal, a salt-water fjord that forms the eastern boundary of the Olympic Peninsula. The oysters grow slowly in this environment, often taking twice as long to reach marketable size as oysters grown by other farms. The result: spectacular oysters with a distinctively clean, crisp flavor and firm meat.

Formerly available only in fine restaurants and gourmet stores, Hama Hama oysters and clams can now be purchased directly from the farm and shipped anywhere in the United States. We are also offering our oysters smoked and pickled, as well as our own smoked salmon, all produced in small batches on location at Hama Hama Farm.
