Wine and Company = 100% proceeds to Mercy Corps!

January 20, 2010
Dear e.moreland friends,
Sunday is our Two year anniversary!! We will be celebrating this Friday from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM with our version of “Happy Hour”. During this time, in celebration and appreciation to everything and everyone  we are thankful for, we will be donating 100% proceeds to Portland’s Mercy Corps. Haiti has been hit beyond comprehension. It is our hope that all of you will come in for an expensive glass of wine, an appetizer or two and enjoy the company of neighbors you may not know yet. Catastrophe can hit at any time, lets come together to contribute a small part, together.
All our employees will be donating their time to make this event happen. We will be serving Bob’s African Wines by the glass ( Bob will be donating $1.00 for every bottle sold to Mercy Corps, his distributor, Mitchell Wines will also donate $1.00 ) Corkage fees on all other wines will be $10.00. Beer by the bottle $4.00. Appetizers ranging from $2.00 to 18.00. Remember, ALL proceeds go directly to Mercy Corps….let’s make a difference!
Fondly yours,
Patrick, Colleen, Jesse, Cody, Nathan, Laura, Nate & Jude

Happy New Year!

January 14, 2010

Standing behind the counter, pouring wine for a couple of good friends that came in to purchase Spanish ingredients for a solstice party they were planning, I was countered by my friend Bill to ” UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE DAMNIT! “…..

So here goes Bill! To a NEW YEAR, to many adventures and to many people at your table.

This New Year brings many thoughts to e.moreland kitchen.

How can we reach more people to understand and cherish what it is exactly that we are doing. How can we make a difference in how each and every one of you purchases  food for your table….How can we help you make these choices….. How can we convince you to shop local, to stay away from these mass produced, hormone injected products? How can we get each and every one of you to watch FOOD INC ?

We set our standards high at e.moreland market. You won’t ever be able to buy a piece of any meat less than $2.49/#….we abhor any and all feed lots. We know exactly how our poultry arrives to our case.  We only purchase locally raised and  sustainable meats. When in season, our produce is all organic and local. Right now, 60% ( in Mid January ) is all local. We are proud to support our local farmers. When not at farmers markets ( Nov. to March ) our farmers rely on us and local restaurants to keep their livelihoods. By supporting us, you help our farmers maintain until market. There are only a couple of markets in Portland that support local farmers year round. We are ONE of them.

Gathering Together Farms, Creative Growers, Cycle Crop Farms, year round.

May this new decade help you to decide new practices in the kitchen and in health.

SALUD!,

Patrick, Colleen, Jesse, Cody, Laura, Nate & Jude
