Local farmers and artisans are the heart of what makes good cooking. The selection of local vendors below are those that I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know during my time volunteering at the Portland Farmers Market. I encourage you to stop by to say hi, buy their products, support the community, and of course, make an amazing locally-inspired meal.
