Amazing Portland Grocery Stores That Deliver

Portland families are doing their part to help flatten the curve, as Kate Brown’s stay-at-home order continues during the pandemic. If getting groceries has you stressed, consider ordering from local small businesses like specialty food shops, restaurants, buying clubs, and farm-to-table operations. When it comes to keeping your kids fed, you’ve got options beyond Instacart and Amazon. Read on for more details.

 

Real Good Food

This Northeast pantry shop stocks a well-curated selection of imported dry goods from around the world. Get your goods curbside, or order over $50 to get $5 delivery within Portland.

Know Thy Food

This Brooklyn neighborhood food-buying and farm-direct cooperative has been a favorite with neighbors-in-the-know for years. During the stay-at-home order, it’s a great time to join up and enjoy discounts on a wide range of bulk items, in addition to seasonal veggie boxes. Shop online and place your order by Saturday for pickup the following Tuesday. Memberships are $150 annually, $75 for low-income members.

Harvest Club at Sun Gold Farms

With summer just on the horizon, now is a great time to support small farms and keep your family in vegetables. Sun Gold Farms’ new Harvest Club is a membership-free, online ordering system that gives you a bit more flexibility than a traditional CSA share, at a 10% discount off farmer’s market prices. Alongside fruits and veggies, they have pantry staples like grains, dried beans, and flour available, plus veggie starts so you can grow your own!
