Abundant Harvest, Abundant Thanks!
Abundant Harvest, Abundant Thanks!
  • an amazing wealth of local farmers
  • the inspired co-ops, like  People’s, Food Front, and the Alberta Co-op
  • the farmers markets to create wonderful meeting places to mingle with my neighbors and buy ultra fresh produce
  • the ever-expanding map of bike lanes and dedicated paths for cycling
  • the Urban Growth Boundary
  • the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability
  • the local “guild” of permaculturists, an informal association of people who have inspired me and continually teach me so much
  • Fresh, clean  water of Bull Run Watershed (Ironic timing for this post)
  • the Willamette and Columbia Rivers and the various creeks that feed into them
  • our proximity to mountains and ocean–the undeniable beauty that lures so many to the great Northwest

    • These aren’t listed in any particular order, and it could go on to touch on other parts of life here in Portland, but this is a good start. It’s a good reminder of some of the wonderful things that contribute to Portland as an amazing place to call home–all resources I am happy to share with clients and people relocating to Portland. It’s an easy town to brag about. This is just scratching the surface of what I love here.
