Mtn Peaks Therapy Llamas & Alpacas
As a non-profit and working farm, this growing team of llamas and alpacas make special moments happen for hundreds of people each year. As registered therapy animals, their visits are impactful and uplifting. The public can also reserve time with them in their pasture and learn about these llovely animals right by their side.
Salsas Locas
La Familia De Leon is the heart behind Salsas Locas, a Mexican market, deli, and restaurant. From an early start in the agriculture fields to making tamales and salsa from the kitchen at home for family and friends, their history and recipes continue to bring people together. Now they also cater to events all around Portland, sharing their family’s passion and flavors.
Ice queen
The incredibly delicious plant-based, vegan frozen treat comes in all the summer flavors, inspired by urban, Native, Chicana culture. Rebecca is the magic behind Ice Queen and runs the shop just a few neighborhood streets away where they also offer soft serve and creative toppings to hit those summer sweet-tooth cravings.
