Portland Green Parenting is here to help! Portland Green Parenting has been connecting and supporting families since 2007. We are a local network of eco-conscious families. Our members are welcome to be as active as they want within the group and host lots of fun activities for the whole family, including play dates, outings to local attractions, dinner clubs and potlucks, workshops. Mom's and Dad's Nights Out/In, and lots more! Many of our members pool resources to buy organic, local, in season produce, dairy, eggs, meats and other natural foods without breaking the bank. We offer an active and resourceful message board for sharing advice, tips, support and staying in touch between meetings. Recently, we have launched a small shop with useful and durable products that you can feel good about purchasing. Food items are only available to our members, but you do not need to be a member to shop for our other goods. Members enjoy exclusive promotions!
We look forward to having you join our growing community and making some new friends! For more information on what we offer, please feel free to browse our site. To learn how to apply for membership and how to register for our private forums and calendar, visit our Membership page. Hayride at Kruger Farm.
