Happy New Year!
January 14, 2010Standing 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
