Local, Convenient, Delicious, Nutritious Meals for You The Local Sprouts Community Supported Kitchen provides local and organic prepared food year-round to our members in Portland. The Community Supported Kitchen (CSK) operates out of the Public Market House in Portland’s Monument Square. Each week there is a different menu featuring seasonal dishes aspiring to provide 100% local food. We offer soups, salads, sides, entrees, canned and fermented items, desserts and breads. The Community Supported Kitchen is a place for members and our community to connect and learn through food. We work with youth and others to share culture, knowledge and culinary skills. The CSK is applying the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Farms, where members get a weekly share of vegetables, to prepared food. We are working to develop a sustainable local food system and build strong connections to the land, to farmers, and to community. We always share where your food is from and are developing ways for our members to connect with local farms. OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORTED KITCHEN IS EVOLVING. AS OF OCTOBER 28th, WE WILL BE ENDING THE CSK AS IT IS AND FOCUSING OUR ENERGY TOWARDS OPENING UP THE CAFE. THE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED KITCHEN WILL THEN BECOME OUR MEMBERSHIP BASE FOR LOCAL SPROUTS.
