Oregon’s Cook Family Farms and NORPAC Foods recently were featured in a video series produced by the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI).

Cook Family Farms is one of 200 growers for Oregon-based cooperative, NORPAC Foods. Their broccoli, peas, cauliflower and sweet corn make their way from the fields of the lush Willamette Valley to NORPAC’s state-of-the-art processing plant in Salem, Ore. where they are cut, cleaned, individually quick frozen to preserve nutrients, and shipped across the country.

The series includes three videos featuring AFFI members: Allen’s Blueberry Freezer, Kahiki Foods, NORPAC Foods and Wyman’s of Maine. Each video addresses how frozen food provides convenient access to nutritious, safe and affordable food.
