Food Innovation Center, Portland Oregon

Our team was overwhelmed with the innovation, creativity, and delicious food at the annual Holiday Market hosted at the OSU Food Innovation Center last night.

We welcomed food entrepreneurs that have worked with our team for years and many that are just bringing their food products to market.

The steady crowd of shoppers were elbow to elbow with food makers and industry contributors.

We hope you enjoyed the evening and learned more about what makes our center unique and invaluable.
