Help us extend a warm welcome to a new vendor this market season, Jorj Bread! Jorj is excited to meet the diverse community at the St. Johns Farmers Market, build relationships, and have the opportunity to share bread and baked goods with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients.
Jorj’s baking journey began in 2024 when his dog, now Jorj Bread’s logo inspiration, passed away. He channeled his negative emotions into bread making, exploring grain science and sourcing grains from local mills. Additionally, Jorj Bread highlights their commitment to locally sourced ingredients to support the regional food system and provide healthy products to our community. Jorj said that using local grain mill flours allows him to make quality products more accessible to everyone through their breads and other goods.
As a new business owner, Jorj has found a lot of support from other PDX business owners, including Jake Newcomb from Newks Hot Sauce. An important part of the business for Jorj is to be able to give back to the community. Jorj Bread has been at pop ups supporting immigrant rights, LGBTQ+ organizations, and those struggling with food insecurity.
While Jorj is looking forward to sharing all of his menu with the St. Johns community this market season, he is especially proud of his sourdoughs, cardamom buns, brownies, and cookies! You can find Jorj Bread at the market this Saturday, 5/30!
