Spring Has Sprung!
Lovely fresh foods from the Portland Farmers Market
Oh joy, oh joy. We’re so thrilled that spring is here! That means daffodils are peaking through the ground, blossoms adorn the trees and a bounty of local fruit and veggies abound. There is nothing better than traipsing to the Portland Farmers Market with our train of bins and loading up on crisp, green asparagus, fresh salad greens, a wide range of mushrooms and delightfully sweet seasonal fruit.
Be on the look-out (and taste-out) for these delicious and gorgeous ingredients scattered throughout your meal when you order with us. As always, we source local and seasonal ingredients whenever possible, so Spring makes our spread even more bountiful!
Time to join us!
A symphony of local ingredients... Crafted into mouth-watering food
Sustainably Speaking,Now is the time to start your journey. I’ve told you what Sustainability is about, I’ve shown you how to commit. Did you? If not, do it immediately, or you may just miss the boat.
Taking the first step can be a big deal, but it actually is easier than you think. First off, in order to get started on your journey, you must figure out where you are and where you want to be. So, it’s time to assess the situation in a way that makes sense to you and is easy to do. In our business we started by identifying the areas of our business as they relate to sustainability. This can be done by doing some research on your own, by hiring a sustainable consultant, or by joining a group or an association whose mission is to help you become more sustainable.
Fortunately, Portland has many of such groups, one of which is tailored to the Catering and Events industry.
Sustainability at Go Green 09 Conference in Portland Oregon
The Sustainability Panel
It was a great day to connect with fellow sustainability champions at Go Green 09, on Wednesday October 7, 2009 at the Gerding Theater. With the great lineup of speakers, it was amazing for me to realize that some of the most important moments of the conference were with those I met in the lobby. That’s the People side of people planet profit, eh? It was nice to be able to get in a plug for the Sustainable Catering Association as well.
