Our friends Alex and Nick from Rangoon Bistro will be taking over our booth at the Portland State farmers market this coming Saturday, February 29th! They will be providing their delicious Burmese fare––Tofu Nway, a chickpea tofu porridge, and Si Chet Khao Swe, a garlic oil noodle dish with duck––each served with our fresh organic ramen noodles. Come hang out with us and fill your belly with some exceptional Burmese food! 

Portland Farmers Market and Umi Organic will bring the Noodle Luge, a tasty spin on an Olympic event, to the King Portland Farmers Market, creating delicious fun for the whole family. Noodle Luge—or Nagashi Somen—is a popular summer pastime in Japan, especially with kids. Armed with chopsticks and a bowl, participants line up along a bamboo flume to catch fresh Umi Organic ramen noodles as they flow past in a stream of water. Participants can then take the noodles they catch to a salad bar, hosted by the market, to add Hot Mama Salsa sauce and an assortment of fresh, local vegetables from market vendors.

We’re bringing our Noodle Luge to a kid-friend Saturday afternoon punk show organized by our friend Alex and his daughter Lucy. Mr. Wrong and Ex-kids will be playing, and we’ll be raining noodles on this hot summer day. Don’t miss it!

On May 14, Umi Organic whole grain yakisoba stir-fry noodles are being served for lunch in all Portland Public Schools. If this lunch is a hit, you may find our noodles as a regular menu item next school year. Please send your kids to eat Umi noodles on May 14.
