This new handbook celebrates the independent grocers, specialty food shops, and culinary artisans that make Portland’s food culture so rich and distinctive. Organized by pantry category, we’re highlighting small businesses that will shape how Portland cooks, eats, and entertains.

From neighborhood markets and family-run bakeries to bottle shops, spice purveyors, zero-waste pantries, and global ingredient stores, this guide inspires home cooks, food lovers, and curious shoppers to explore—and spend locally.

For advertisers, this magazine provides a direct line to engaged Portlanders who value quality, craftsmanship, and discovery.
