In this edition of Making Oregon, our guest is Tressa Yellig, co-founder of Salt, Fire & Time (https://saltfireandtime.com/). Based in Portland, Salt, Fire & Time has been a producer of traditional healing food products on a community scale since its inception in 2009.

They also operate the Broth Bar, Portland’s first dedicated bone broth café, a collaboration of Tressa and her sister Katie. The Broth Bar offers high quality therapeutic bone broths with a variety of add-ons, that are gluten-free, paleo-friendly, and are sensitive to the needs of those with food allergies

Tressa also teaches a variety of old world cooking & nutrition classes around Portland, and believes that our personal food choices are beautiful vehicles for change in our communities and the world. Salt, Fire & Time’s ambition is to be a sustainable solution to the growing need to heal our bodies, and our food economies, through the choices we make in defense of quality foods.

We’ll talk about Tressa’s personal journey, where her love of food and alternate healing comes from, and how a septic infection cured by organ meats, raw milk and yoga became the catalyst for a move to the Pacific Northwest, the start of Salt, Fire & Time of 2009, and, the opening of the Broth Bar in 2015.
