Skipanon Brand Seafood. Warrenton, Oregon
Salmon, tuna, steel head, crab, oysters, crayfish when available

Flying Fish Co., 23rd and Hawthorne, Portland
All kinds of seafood, and sometimes other stuff too
The Flying Fish Co. is run out of a food truck that is filled freezers and refridgerators. Don't let this put you off though. This is no side-of-the-highway fish monger. Lyf is diligent about his fish. Follow @flyingfishco on twitter for daily updates on what his is stocking.

Oregon Albacore Tuna
Canned Tuna, but not like you've had before. This is a chunk of tuna in a can. Based in Newport, Oregon, this family owned company uses only hook & line methods and is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council. Available at New Seasons. Great prepared as tuna balls.
Ecola Seafood Restaurant & Market, Cannon Beach
Seafood
The restaurants and the boats are family owned. They can and sell their own tuna, salmon and crab. At the restaurant you can get fresh fish or eat lunch there. The crab cocktail is outstanding.Ecola Seafood Restaurant & Market, Cannon Beach

Beef, Pork, Lamb, Chicken
Sweet Briar Farms, PSU Farmer's Market
All sorts of pork.
A wide variety of pork products, including outstanding bacon. I've only found them at the PSU Farmer's Market, but they may be in other places.

Farm direct pigs
When we bought our whole pig, we got it from Payne Family Farm. It was some of the best pork I'd ever eaten in my whole life. Available from Eat Oregon First and various restaurants around town.
SuDan Farms, Canby Oregon
Lamb, ma'am
Run by Susie and Dan Wilson out of Canby, SuDan Farms lamb is available direct from their farm and you can find it at various restaurants around town. We found them at the PSU farmer's market and ordered a whole lamb for our Eating Babies meal two years ago. You can also read about impromptu braised lamb shank using SuDan farms lamb.

Ford Farm, Sauvie Island
Highland Cattle
We'd driven past Ford Farm many times on our way to Pumpkin Patch Farm on Sauvie Island. I'm glad I finally called to find out about their beef. We ended up getting 1/4 cow, and it was outstanding. They are extremely small scale producer and do home delivery. Their highland cattle are family raised and delicious.
Admittedly, Eliza is a good friend. It just so happens she is a good friend that humanely raises delicious chickens and turkeys. Available by phone only.Highland Cattle

Vegetables, Legumes
The Pumpkin Patch Farm, Sauvie Island
Seasonal Local Vegetables
My go-to place when the farmer's markets are not open or when I don't feel like dealing with the crowds. Just outside the city on Sauvie Island makes it very convenient. The selection is good, the produce is labeled so you know where it comes from, and the quality is very nice.
Haricot Farms
Beans
Canned beans, not fresh. Mass produced yet local and sustainable. Available at Whole Foods, etc.
Fruit
Braird Family Orchards
Peaches
They have simply the best peaches I've ever tasted. I've only ever seen them at the St. John's farmer's market. These are the kind of peaches you want to buy cases of to can so you can eat them all year.
Kruger's Farm, Sauvie Island
Berries and Farm Tunes
A great place for berry picking. Super popular in the summer for live music on Thursdays.

Stone-Buhr
"Local" is relative when it comes to something produced on such a massive scale, like wheat. But Stone-Buhr is about as good as it gets. Available in almost any grocery store in the normal flour isle, not just the "natural foods" section. Read more about the struggles of durum wheat in Oregon.
Beer
Chateau Rogue Orgasmic Ale
The only beer I've found that is 100% Oregon ingredients. The entire "Chateau" line is 100% local. I like the Orgasmic Ale. Only available at their pubs and breweries.

Salt
Jacobsen Salt Co., Portland, Oregon

| Crystals of Jacobsen's Oregon Salt. |
The only salt producer in the entire Northwest that actually gathers water locally and processes the water locally. Having just started in October, 2011, Jacobsen Salt filled a niche that no one else was. Available at New Seasons, Elephant's Deli, and other places around Portland as well as online. I had the chance to sit down and talk Oregon Salt with Benjamin Jacobsen.
