Supper Club: Delighting in a Decade with Woodford F&B
When Mike and I first moved to Portland in the fall of 2019, Woodford Food & Beverage was the first place that made us feel at home. So welcoming them to Flanagan Farm to celebrate their 10th anniversary this winter felt like one of the most meaningful evenings we have hosted. This post is our love letter to a decade of Woodford in Portland, plus a full recap of the extraordinary menu Chef Courtney Loreg brought to our barn for the occasion.
