On a recent to trip to Portland Oregon I visited a true icon of Portland. The Sheridan Fruit Company is reaching their 100 year anniversary in 2016. The Poleo brothers purchased the company from Founder John Sheridan in 1946 and is still run by the family. Fresh fruit, vegetables, fresh meat and sausage, and an amazing bulk aisle. And don’t forget the deli. I enjoyed a lovely bacon breakfast sandwich from the deli one morning. It was hard to choose from all the yummy offerings. They also have a grill outside cooking up daily specials and other selections. The aisles are full of tempting items from different parts of the globe. Butter from Germany? They have it. Wild Game, yes they have that too.  I was amazed by the sausage counter that offered over 25 varieties, of which all but a few are made in-house. How about a Philly Cheesesteak sausage, sounds yummy doesn’t it. I only wished I lived closer, because this place would be my “go to” store. Sheridan supplies many of the restaurants in the area with their fleet of trucks. Fruit and specialty baskets can be ordered on-line, so look out “Harry and David”. Their friendly staff is always willing to help customers. Sheridan Fruit Company has a website (sheridanfruit.com) and can be found on Face Book. Next time you’re in Portland, or if you live there now, make sure you stop in and show your support of this historic company.
