This will be the 10th successive year that Portland Chefs Collaborative has hosted the Farmer-Chef Connection. Its success is a tribute to the great work of many volunteers over the years, all the great bounty of our region, and the drive and passion that local food buyers and food growers have to make our local food system successful! Register here.

Not just for Farmers & Chefs…who is invited?

Any person or company who is looking to source any food or drink item locally, who buys or wants to buy directly from the sources. Students who want to learn. Experienced growers or buyers who want to share their sourcing wisdom.
What does it cost?

Thanks all for a wonderful day — informative, inspiring and delicious. A highlight of mine was around the lunch table…David pulling his last jar of pickled watermelon rinds out from his car for everyone to taste and the chicken liver pate that also appeared (i’m sorry i’ve forgetten your names –dancing chicken farm perhaps?) as an extra special treat. We had a great time.
