Hi, {{first__name | reader}},
I recently profiled the Cully Farmers Market and their revolutionary pahtl o’-pe-kwan (or "Full Basket") program, which is expanding food access at a time when other support programs (like SNAP) are being cut. It’s a remarkable example of how an Indigenous-led market is pushing the boundaries of what community support looks like.
Join me on Thursday, July 31 from 5 to 7 p.m. at WonderLove Food Cart pod in inner SE Portland for the first-ever Stumptown Savings happy hour event! Come enjoy discounted drinks, order some food from one of the carts, and soak up summer. See you there!
Now, onto the deals. 🧀 I’m particularly excited about a sale on locally made Don Froylan cheese, some of the best cheese in America!

Meal Deal
This week, we're building a flexible and fun nacho night around some great local deals at Chuck's Fresh Markets. Nachos are the ultimate customizable meal, perfect for using up what you have and satisfying the whole family. This recipe gives you a blueprint for turning great local deals into a delicious, shareable feast.
Loaded Ground Beef Nachos
Yields: 4-6 servings | Cost: About $19.31 total (About $4.83 per serving) | Time: About 25 minutes
Featuring deals from Chuck's Fresh Markets through July 29.
Ingredients
1 lb. local Double R Ranch 85% lean ground beef
1 bag local Juantonio's tortilla chips
8 oz. local Don Froylan Cotija or Queso Fresco (or other variety)
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 head of organic green leaf lettuce, shredded
1 lime, cut into wedges
Taco seasoning (1 tbsp. chili powder, 1 tsp. cumin, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder)
For Topping: salsa, sour cream
Instructions
Prepare and cook the meal:
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and about 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Spread the tortilla chips on a large, rimmed baking sheet.
Top the chips evenly with the seasoned beef and the rinsed black beans. Crumble the Don Froylan cheese over the top.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is warm and beginning to melt.
Assemble and serve:
Remove the sheet pan from the oven.
Top generously with shredded lettuce, dollops of sour cream, and your favorite salsa.
Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Tips
Sturdy Chips are Key: Juantonio's are great local chips that should hold up well to the toppings.
Don't Overbake: Cotija and Queso Fresco are traditional Mexican cheeses that soften and warm but don't melt into puddles like cheddar. You're just looking to heat everything through.
Add Some Heat: If you like it spicy, add some pickled jalapeños before baking or fresh jalapeños after.
Make It Your Own: It's easy to adapt these nachos. Go vegetarian by swapping the beef for more beans. Go vegan by ditching the meat and cheese and adding your favorite plant-based proteins. Or go all out by making your own fresh salsa. The world is your nacho.
