In January 2021, Wild received a $10,000 grant from Tillamook County Visitors Association and the Tillamook County Creamery Association to feature local growers, ranchers, makers and small business owners throughout the North Coast of Oregon. 100% of the grant funds were invested in local companies including media agency Deer Island Studio, utilizing the talents of its owners Trav Williams and Ryan Pedersen, music producer Chris Moncrieffe of Drop Dead Ugly Studio, video editor Christian Simmons, videographer Nathan Holstedt, and voiceover artist Christina Pfister. Kelley Roy, Wild’s Marketing Director, wrote and directed the series, which also includes a short documentary about the history of Wild (formerly Mother Natures) that will premiere on YouTube at 7pm December 17th.
Here at Wild we feature the best of the best from our local farmers, ranchers, fishers and makers. One of our favorite locals is Adria from Art & Channel and we featured her in our new Wild Origins Series, which you can watch here:
The video series features local and regional purveyors carried at Wild Grocery & Cafe in Manzanita, including Art & Channel, The Columbia Bar, North Fork 53 Communitea, Nehalem River Ranch, The Salmonberry, River City Flower Farms, Moon River Farm, Circe’s Garden, Tre-Fin and Dragonsong Farm & Apiary. The series will be released over the next 4 months on their Instagram and Facebook @wildmanzanita and posted to their website wildmanzanita.com
