Each month we spotlight a Chamber member making a difference in our community. This month: Crystal Creek Meats, a Sutherlin success story.

What began as a small family operation has grown into a regional name known for quality, USDA-inspected products and a commitment to local jobs. Owners credit the tight-knit Sutherlin business community — and word-of-mouth from fellow Chamber members — for much of their growth.

"The Chamber connected us with other local businesses and helped us get the word out," the team shared. "When you support a local shop, that money stays right here in the Umpqua Valley."

Crystal Creek is currently hiring production crew members — see the Chamber job board for details. Stop by, say hello, and taste the difference local makes.
