Positively Groundfish Accelerator Program:

Awarded to Sea‑Bre’s & Old Jack’s Pantry

Sea‑Bre’s and Old Jack’s Pantry are honored to receive support from the Positively Groundfish Accelerator Program. 


This award helps us launch a seafood‑based dog food line that transforms underutilized Oregon groundfish and seafood by‑products into high‑quality, nutritious pet food.


What This Funding Supports

  • Moving from concept to early production
  • Product development and formulation
  • Food safety planning and documentation
  • Nutritional testing
  • Pilot processing and quality validation

Every step ensures our products meet rigorous regulatory and quality standards.


Why It Matters

By using responsibly harvested local groundfish and simple, recognizable ingredients, we are:

  • Reducing waste in the seafood supply chain
  • Creating a new value‑added market for small‑boat fishermen and processors
  • Supporting working waterfronts and coastal economies
  • Meeting growing demand for traceable, protein‑rich, sustainably sourced pet food


Our Commitment

At the heart of this project is full‑circle stewardship — honoring the whole fish, supporting the hands that catch it, and feeding the companions who walk beside us.

This project advances innovation in seafood utilization, supports working waterfronts, and demonstrates how groundfish can play a meaningful role beyond traditional human food markets—benefiting fishermen, processors, and pet owners alike.
