Who we are

Know Thy Food was born in February 2008 from the need for fairly priced, healthy foods among members of Portland Green Parenting. We are friends and neighbors who are interested in buying healthy foods at fair prices, supporting sustainable agriculture and protecting the environment. We started out as a small drop point for Azure Standard deliveries hosted in living rooms and kitchens, but quickly grew into a much larger multi-vendor food buying club.

Inspired by the successful model developed by the Oklahoma Food Co-op, we are now developing a farm-direct networking project that brings together local farmers, food producers and members who care about the land and share an enjoyment of simple wholesome foods.
