Landscape Architect & Kitchen Tinkerer
Bethany is a landscape architect and an eighth generation Oregonian with an appetite for equitable, sustainable, and meaningful food. After finding her cupboards overloaded with experiments-gone-right, she co-founded Portland’s first food swap in 2010 as a way to diversify her pantry and mingle with neighbors. She helped found the Food Swap Network, where the food swapping movement continues to grow and spread across the country and around the world! She shares her love of life and food and travel at twoOregonians.
