Good Lord. Why has no one told me about these pies before. I got some kind of mixed fruit pie and it was to die for, and that's saying something coming from someone who isn't fruit pies at all. Anyway, back to this little market - street parking was easy enough for me, I didn't notice a dedicated lot anywhere. I arrived toward the end of the day and some of the vendors were starting to pack up. I saw the standard locally grown veggie stands as well as one selling crocheted items, butchered meats (or was it fresh fish?), mushrooms, ceramics, home baked dog treats and sweet little bandanas for your furry family members, among other things. It was calm and quiet, no pressure from the vendors, and just enough variety to warrant a stop in if you are in the area!

The Village Market is a breath of fresh air as a corner market store compared with other offerings…read morein North Portland. Situated near a #4 bus stop by the New Columbia neighborhood, the market offers fresh veggies at good prices, bulk foods (including several Bob's Red Mill items), general pantry items, and some houshold needs. It also has a deli, but I haven't tried that yet. Village Market is operated by Village Gardens, so you know that whenever you spend money at the market it is going right back to the community to help create a better food environment for everyone. Check it out!

During the months this winter that we operated an emergency homeless shelter out of the Charles…read moreJordan Community Center down the street, I would go several times a week to the Village Market. I'd get the "fancy creamers" on Fridays for our participants' never ending appetite for coffee, snacks for myself and my coworkers, and fresh veggies and fruits to enhance the food we had at the shelter. What started as a trip of convenience became one of my favorite parts about coming to work. In its layout the Village Market has the prettiness of a Whole Foods and the spatial logic of a Manhattan Bodega (minus the Bodega cat). But the fresh and culturally correct offerings on its clean, smartly presented shelves are priced way below anything in NYC or Whole Paycheck. It's a freaking gem of a store. The staff (all of whose names and pronouns are listed below shining, colorful photos of their faces on a wall near the dairy section) display the ideal trifecta for corner market employees: genuine friendliness, helpful knowledgeability, and a pride in their establishment that brooks no bull. Shout out to Mo in particular, who read me cold for being a white boy wearing indigenous Arabic pants and having an Arabic tattoo, but then also taught me a new word and let me practice some of my language skills which had been slacking. Village Market is quality products that I loved bringing to our participants at the shelter, and quality people who care about their work and their community. Since we left the Charles Jordan Center, one of the parts I've missed the most is this place. It seems to me the neighborhood feels richer and lovelier for it, without feeling more expensive or elitist. That's a win.

It was dense, but not heavy. Sweet but not teeth achingly sweet. Well balanced flavor and an overall delightful cake. Other than bread (olive ciabatta FTW) I haven't gotten anything from the bakery. I will definitely be getting my cakes from this store again.

I sincerely hope the City of Roses will always have some iteration of our beloved Belmont Goats…read more This Portland institution is one of the most wholesome, wonderfully wacky, and community-minded attractions to bless our city. If you've never heard of the Belmont Goats, read on! Their story began years ago on a vacant lot on SE Belmont where the goats were originally brought in to clear brush. (Goats are really great at that - 50 goats can clear roughly one acre in 3-5 days) But what started as a practical land management solution, quickly bloomed into something much bigger. The public fell in love with these friendly goats! Over the years the goats have faced their fair share of struggles, but the public has banded together to ensure they always have a safe and reliable home. Because of this community support, the goats have done a fair bit of travel within the city. They left Belmont for several locations in Lents, then moved north to University Park, then made their way to a permanent home in St Johns at Pier Park. I just want to say "thank you" to all the volunteers who have contributed their time, donated money, and advocated for these sweet creatures over the years. The community that has been built around the Belmont Goats says a lot for Portlanders, and our shared appreciation for making our city a friendly and loving place. For the most up-to-date info on the goats, head to TheBelmontGoats.org where you'll find directions, hours, volunteer info, donation opportunities, etc. Pier Park is a fairly large complex, so be sure to use the exact address on North Iris Way. There is parking to the north of the goats, along the side of the street, as well as the community garden parking lot across the way.

Their wine bar is fantastic, and good-priced, and it was fun to watch the last of the World Cup here today. If you're looking for something special or hard to find, this is the place, much like the old Pastaworks was on Hawthorne. They really shine on their produce, pasta and fresh meats here, and there's always something new, but I love that you can count on the bakery for your focaccia and other fresh breads. Cheese case is like Rue Cler, Paris--so much selection and they will tell you about each one of them. Don't be afraid to just ask a lot of questions. I wish that they did some little items in the bakery, one of my fondest memories from childhood was going to Pastaworks with my dad and getting a breadstick, probably eating it before we even paid (we did), as we strolled around, and where's the peanut sauce for pasta, another favorite of the old days, yup, I'm old. Can't say enough good things about this place, it can add up though as others have mentioned, but, if you keep to a list or just slow the roll on the impulse buy, it's actually reasonable and you know you're getting what you're paying for. I've never regretted a purchase here or thought it unfair. I mean, it says Fine Foods right there in the name...:) Thank you for the amazing ingredients for dinner tonight, cheers!
