We are excited to highlight another wonderful gran We are excited to highlight another wonderful grant recipient: Rice Thief! WHO THEY ARE: Rice Thief is a Korean deli that specializes in creating from-scratch, seasonally inspired Korean banchan and sauces. Owner & founder Anna carefully sources ingredients for quality and seasonality from local food businesses and regional farms that are committed to organic and pesticide-free agricultural practices. Rice Thief is at PSU Farmers Market, although their last markets of the 2026 season are 11/7 and 11/21. HOW THE MATTHEW CHOI FARMERS MARKET VENDOR GRANT HELPED THEM: The grant offered critical financial support for kitchen equipment purchases, as well as booth needs such as banners, menu signage, and a new tent canopy. Additionally, these funds helped support significant operational expenses, including cargo van rentals, vendor booth fees, commercial kitchen rent, and restaurant permits/liability insurance. GROWTH: Since receiving the grant in 2025, Anna has been developing new seasonal Korean side dishes, including jarred ferments (kimchi) and pickles (jangajji), as well as grab-and-go "deli counter" items (dubu jorim, geotjeori, muchim, bibimguksu, etc.). Rice Thief additionally launched GG (gochu ganjang) sauce for both the farmers market and small local grocers such as the Alberta Co-op. WHAT'S NEXT: Increasing demand and expanding to a second farmers market! Help support future emerging food entrepreneurs like Rice Thief as they launch and expand at local farmers markets in 2027.

We are excited to highlight another fantastic gran We are excited to highlight another fantastic grant recipient: Walking Whale Flower Farm!🐋💐 WHO THEY ARE: Walking Whale Flower Farm is a flower grower located on a half-acre near Gresham, specializing in no-spray, low-till, vegan-friendly flowers. They offer beautiful fresh-cut bouquets from late Spring through early Fall, as well as dried flower arrangements through the end of the year, at PSU Farmers Market. You can find their booth at the south end of the market, next to the Viking Pavilion. HOW THE GRANT HELPED THEM: The grant helped them purchase necessary booth equipment like tables, a banner, tablecloths, and more. GROWTH: Since receiving the grant in 2023, this solo venture (previously named Sampaguita Farms) grew into a partnership under a new name (Walking Whale Flower Farm) that's expanded by an "order of magnitude". Receiving a grant during their first season as a business was pivotal in helping this farm gain access to an incubator that further supported their growth. WHAT'S NEXT: Finding a "forever" property to continue the business. Help support future emerging small farmers and food entrepreneurs like Walking Whale Flower Farm as they launch and expand at local farmers markets by contributing to the Matthew Choi Farmers Market Vendor Grant!
