"Portland’s progressive, organic-food-loving culture shines across five locations throughout the city, with the year-round Portland State University site serving as the flagship and showcasing nearly 150 foragers, farmers, fishermen, ranchers, beekeepers, dairymen, and artisan food makers. The market features brewers, distillers, and winemakers, unusual produce like fiddlehead ferns and wild mushrooms, cooking demos, and live music—reflecting the city’s embrace of veganism and hyperlocal sourcing. Standout bites include farm-fresh mole from Verde Cocina and vegan fried chicken with biscuits and gravy from Black Girl Veggies." - Veronica Stoddart
