The Okanogan Highlands Bottling Company was established in 1998, originally to bring attention to the effects of cyanide leach gold mining and to prove that Water Is More Precious Than Gold. In April 2003, it became obvious that Water for Peace had to come next. And we continue to develop political action water bottling as people request it, including Agua Si, Se Puede! (Yes, We Can! Water) in December 2007.

Currently, our spring water source is the delicious Cedar Canyon Artesian Spring near Forest Grove, Oregon. Our goal is to eventually bottle our waters locally, in the Okanogan Mountains of north-central Washington State, to provide an economic, as well as environmental, incentive to keep our water clean. By drinking or distributing any of our waters you help that dream become reality.

There are many issues in today's world that need our attention. Protecting parks, saving old growth forests, ozone depletion and global warming, ocean issues including saving wild salmon, whales and coral reefs, genetically modified and irradiated foods, industrial farming and the unethical treatment of animals, creating national health care, civil rights, and immigration rights and reform in the US are just a few of them. Our vision is to use bottled water to carry those messages.
