Grand Central Bakery opens December 9

At 8 am on Wednesday, December 9, Grand Central Bakery will open the doors at 12595 N.W Cornell Road.

Formerly a 7-Eleven, the building was completely remodeled by DHR Renovation and features an open, light-filled interior. Cedar Mill Grand Central will seat 40 and features polished concrete floors and sustainable wood detailing from Hyla Woods. An open floor plan offers views of bakers making morning pastries.

Along with boxes of fresh pastries, Grand Central will offer Nossa Familia coffee and espresso drinks, breakfast sandwiches, soups and salads made with local farm produce, and a wide variety of sandwiches. The bakery also sells frozen ready-to-bake pies made with local fruit, all-butter pie crusts and rustic pizza dough.

Founded in Seattle in 1989, Grand Central is a family-owned bakery serving delicious food made from the very best local & sustainable ingredients. Pastries are baked fresh daily on site and Grand Central’s rustic breads are nationally recognized as among the best in the country.

This will be Grand Central’s seventh Portland location. It will be open daily from 7 am to 6 pm and offers a shared parking lot with neighboring businesses.

CMBA decorates for the holidays!

The Cedar Mill Business Association is getting ready to decorate the light poles along our “main drag,” Cornell Road between Murray and Saltzman, and up Saltzman by the library, with cedar greenery from Dinihanian Farm. They’re also renewing the banners that proudly announce, “Welcome to Cedar Mill.” These programs are paid for through the generous sponsorships of local area businesses, whose names are included on each banner.

Program coordinator Joanne Hollister says, “The banners and decor show the world that this is an active and involved business community, and not just a pass through commute!” The program also provides the beautiful flower baskets that grace our downtown throughout spring and summer.

For more information about the program, contact Joanne at mtmanlady@gmail.com. To find out more about CMBA, visit cedarmillbiz.com.

Virtue of the Month: Wonder

Wonder is being open to the beauty and mysteries of life. It is our soul’s appreciation for what is precious and inspiring. When we look at the grandeur of nature, fully present to the moment, it can move us deeply. When we live reflectively, we delight in the signs and wonders that appear in our lives. We are alert to synchronicities that point us toward a decision or give us deeper insight into the truth. Wonder makes our lives simply wonderful.

I take time to contemplate beauty.

I am inspired by life’s mysteries.

I am present in the moment.

I appreciate life’s synchronicities.

I believe that my life is meaningful.

I am thankful for the gift of Wonder. It amazes me.

Organic CSA location in Bonny Slope

If you are interested in excellent produce and supporting local farmers, please consider joining Love Farm CSA, an organic CSA (community supported agriculture) in Forest Grove for the 2016 season (June-November) to get organic produce delivered to Bonny Slope.

Memberships will be available beginning in January for full shares (family of 4) or half shares (2). The produce will be delivered to a home in Bonny Slope, and you'd pick up your weekly share on a specified weekday—the very same day the produce is picked.

A wonderful and unique aspect about Love Farm is their CSA method: instead of pre-assembling a box for each family, the produce is delivered and set up like a little farm store, with a blackboard list of what your share includes, and there are choices! You select your own produce, and in some cases you select among a few vegetables in the same family. So if you don't like cauliflower, for example, but you'd love to try romanesco broccoli, you can decide!

Love Farm Organics has over two hundred members in Portland, and sells their seasonal, organic produce to area restaurants as well, rather than selling at the farmers' markets. For more information visit lovefarmorganics.com.

Please contact Linda Sawaya (linda@lindasawaya.com) if you're interested in signing up for a membership in a Bonny Slope pick up or if you have questions.
