We do special order baking, small scale catering, and restaurant pop-ups featuring local whole grains, farm-direct produce, ferments, edible flowers, and foraged foods. Our goal is to highlight the incredible produce being grown by local farmers, creating seasonally inspired menus of pastries, platters, plates, and brunches. We hope to build community in the intersection of food and sustainable practices like buying local, growing food, working collectively, and riding bicycles.

Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when freedom finally came for enslaved Black people in the Confederate states when Union troops arrived to Galveston, Texas. This was TWO YEARS AFTER the Emancipation Proclamation was signed and two more additional months after the Civil War ended. As the National Museum of African American History and Culture writes “Juneteenth marks our country’s second Independence Day. Although it has long been celebrated in the African American community, this monumental event remains largely unknown to most Americans.”
If you celebrate July 4th but have never learned about Juneteenth, interrogate why that is. Why is it that this year is the first time in history Multnomah County and this City of Portland have declared Juneteenth a paid holiday. Why isn’t June 19th a national holiday?
Today- particularly if you are white - honor that Juneteenth celebrates Black freedom and resistance and please take the time to learn about Portland’s enduring history of racial discrimination.
There will be lots of action points in the stories today as to what you can do to help uplift this holiday and learn more about how racism was literally written into the constitution of Oregon.
Also remember, you are on stolen land.
