Pine Street Bakery, 1103 12th St, Hood River

Pine Street provides the perfect setting for this early summer networking event in Hood River’s The Heights neighborhood. At this Green Drinks event, meet Megan Davis and Clint Harris, owners of Pine Street Bakery. When you sit down at Pine Street, you might just be sitting next to the farmer who grew your salad, the orchardist who grew the apples in your pie, or the rancher who provided the wheat for your bread or the eggs in your strata.  Come to Green Drinks and meet some of the farmers supplying Pine Street and other restaurants with food, enjoy cocktails made from fresh Gorge fruit juice, and make connections with other business owners and community members.

Green Drinks is free and open to the public but a $5 donation is suggested at the door for all non-members of Gorge Owned.
