With a little help - Umpqua Oats





Oatmeal? Seriously, you are going to offer oatmeal in your silent auction?


Oh, but this is not *just* oatmeal. This is oatmeal nirvana. This is as similar to the dry packets of oatmeal you are thinking of, as a steak is to a McD cheeseburger. They may be from the same animal.....but they are oh so different. 


Whole oats, huge berries and nuts, real sugar all tucked into a reusable cup. The flavors are a real throwback to before artificial strawberry took over. 


If you are lucky enough to spot some Umpqua Oats while you are out and about, I highly suggest you grab a cup and see what oatmeal is really all about. If you find that you love it as much as our family does, be sure to place a bid on the one of the great lots we will have up at our auction. You won't regret it!

Two couples, seven kids, eleven active lifestyles, one breakfast philosophy: Nutritious, Delicious, and Fast.
How do you offer a healthy breakfast to families on the go?  Why sacrifice proper nutrition and great taste for speed if you don’t have to?  Where do you find a healthy AND fast breakfast in the midst of pre-soccer game chaos?  These and other questions were on the minds of Mandy and Sheri, two active moms, on the pivotal morning of an important soccer match.  The kids needed nutrition and lots of energy to win the game, but they wanted good taste too.  Forcing down bland packets of plain ol’ instant oats wasn’t tasty, but it was great inspiration…
So after the game, Mandy and Sheri trekked into the kitchen with the kids to find the secret to a healthy, quick, and mobile breakfast for active people everywhere.
Only the best ingredients, from whole rolled oats to the care only moms can provide, go into our products.  It’s so good you might even want to slow down, sit down, and savor it!
From the best natural ingredients to the unsurpassed taste, Umpqua Oats is truly the Nutritious, Delicious and Fast breakfast choice.
The products we use make Umpqua Oats different.
Whole Rolled Oats
We use only whole thick rolled oats for an “old fashioned” taste.  Rolled oats contain thiamin, iron and fiber.  Fiber is helpful in reducing cholesterol levels in the bloodstream.  Whole oats are also the only source of antioxidant compounds known as avenanthramides.
Sucanat Sugar
Another quality ingredient we add to our oatmeal is sucanat sugar.  Sucanat is whole cane sugar that is simply made by crushing freshly cut sugar cane, extracting the juice and heating it in a large vat.  Once the sugar is reduced to a rich dark syrup it is hand paddled to cool creating the porous granules called sucanat.  Sucanat adds that caramel flavor to our oatmeal.
