GIG of Portland meeting


You might have met Kelli at the April Gluten-Free Food Fair at the Portland DoubleTree by Hilton. Thrive is a food system of dehyrdated, fresh food that is certified gluten-free, offering some organic foods. Made to make everyday eating easy, and to have a rotating food system in your pantry, it’s also perfect for emergency preparedness for us who are gluten-free! There will always be a source of vegetable, fruit, grains and protein in your basement. 

Gluten-Free Certified

Our gluten-free products and procedures are certified through the Gluten Intolerance Group. In fact, we test at 5 parts per million on our products, far below the required 20 ppm!

Outdoor Approved

THRIVE foods are lightweight and don’t need to be refrigerated, making them perfect for hiking, biking, boating, and camping.

Complete Food Freedom

A pantry full of THRIVE gives you complete food freedom—you’re not stuck making dinner with the five random ingredients that are left in your cupboard at the end of the week, or forced to go to the store if you want to make a certain recipe. Even unexpected events like injury or loss of a job won’t affect your ability to put food on the table. With a good supply of all the foods you need right at your fingertips, you won’t be dependent on anything, which means you’ll be ready for everything.

GIG of Portland meeting

You know Chef Abby from Abby’s Table, a family-style restaurant off of Burnside that served gourmet gluten-free/dairy-free/soy-free food for many years to the Portland community. Now Chef Abby has shifted gears and is in the midst of a special project of cooking with people in their own kitchens! 

“It’s about eating together. It’s about cooking together. And it’s most importantly about the joys of food culture. The love that homemade food brings to your life. It’s about a brand new idea that’s actually a very old idea: sharing food and good company around a table. A table brimming with freshly made food, made with love and made for every eater to eat.”
