Portside Community Market will be coming to Jack London District in 2016, but we can't wait until then to share amazing food, inspirational community leaders and great company with you!
Join us on March 25th for an evening of co-ops, food activism and of course, delicious food! Come hear sustainability leaders from around the Bay talk about the role of cooperatives in the new economy, food sustainability, the impact of investing locally and more at the Port Workspaces Co-Working.
