shop review
ENVIRONMENT Oregrown has truly built an incredible space in their newly opened SE Portland home. When I stepped into the shop, my first thought was Patagonia meets craft Cannabis. Beautiful display cases line the floors and an illuminated Pax symbol is one of the focal points of the space. Clothing racks filled with Oregrown’s extensive line of apparel fill the perimeter of the store. The vision for this space was brought to life by Chief Brand Officer Christina, as she wanted to create an old school Portland, rootsy vibe. Oregrown considers all of their stores flagships, as they aim to represent the state of Oregon’s love of the outdoors and craft Cannabis.
PRODUCT SELECTION
34
The vast array of products available was impressive. Almost every Pax pod cartridge was available, including some tasty in-house collaborations, and an extensive flower menu featuring some of the state’s best growers, including: Evans Creek Farms, Eugreen Farms, Nelson & Co. and Heroes of the Farm, amongst many others. Various consistencies of in-house live resin filled the shelves, as well as other top notch solvent and solventless extracts from Echo Electuary and Happy Cabbage Farms. The edible selection is just as extensive. Wyld, Wana, Junk, Laurie and Mary Janes, and Mr. Moxey’s are just a few of the top notch edible makers featured.
HISTORY AND VALUES The original Oregrown location in Bend first opened back in 2015 as a medical shop. The brand and store has grown immensely since then, from expanding their brand and endorsing local athletes, to distributing their single source products all across the state. One of the principles Oregrown Co-Founder/Owner Aviv Hadar holds dearest is being a beacon for quality, as they provide a clean, consciously designed space that curates some of the best Oregon has to offer. The vertically integrated farm and lab are as organic and clean as it gets - cultivating and processing classic, yet flavorful strains.

BUDTENDERS AND SPECIALS The budtenders working when I stopped in were incredibly friendly and helpful. As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted by just about everyone in the shop. I was informed about the daily special and was given recommendations on some of their favorite products. Oregrown is currently offering an amazing gesture/ special amidst the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic : free delivery and 15% off to those 60+ years of age. All Oregrown locations have daily specials, which include vape Monday, tasty Tuesday, dab Wednesday, flower Friday and top shelf Sunday.
QUICK HIT Oregrown has one of the coolest dispensary layouts in Oregon. Originally designed by JHL Design, the shop has a topographic feel that almost mimics the terrain of central Oregon. Friendly, knowledgeable and patient staff - combined with an immense selection of high quality products - makes Oregrown’s newly opened Portland flagship a must stop for Cannabis connoisseurs.
