Lincoln’s Fine Meats Will Open on NE Alberta in Portland

There’s the kid.

There’s a new butcher shop preparing to open in the Alberta Arts District: Lincoln’s Fine Meats.

Apple Fest returns this weekend. This is another fruit-focused festival from Rubinette Produce Market inside Providore. On Sunday, October 11 from 10am to 3pm, head there to taste a variety of apples from Kiyokawa Family Orchards. And Chef Gregory Redfield from Bauman’s Cider will have an “apple inspired nibble from his kitchen.” Be sure to stop in the adjacent Wine Room to sip on some Bauman’s brews.

There’s also a chance to win a $300 gift card to Bauman’s. Nice. The event is free to attend. 2340 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland
