7.10.2010 Though only fifteen miles from the heart of Portland, Sauvie Island Organics would have you believe that you had truly escaped the bustle of city life while visiting its property. While planting all of the staples of true vegetable aficionados, Sauvie Island makes sure to maintain an acute awareness of the land it grows upon. Soil, water, and weeds are managed with sustainability in mind. When Chef Chris DiMinno arrives, he will play off nature's best as he also draws from the casual style of Clyde Common restaurant. Fresh, simple, nutritious, exciting.
