Milk and Honey is such an apt name for the café that Swallowtail Farm and Creamery opened in their space at 84 Cove St. in Easy Bayside. The building and space is also where the winter farmer’s market takes place when it resumes later this fall. The neighborhood, in fact, is growing slowly beyond its gritty industrial past. Tandem Coffee is up the block; distilleries are around the corner on Anderson Street; Youngs Furniture has opened an outpost nearby selling hipster furniture, ditching the Baby Boomer drab of yore and opening soon is 87 Anderson St., the rental building built by Redfern Properties who is quickly becoming the pied piper to house Portland’s growing roster of hipster millennials.

Shoppers who are there for the farmer’s market will walk through the café’s space before entering the rear and side rooms where vendors will set up shop. But for now and throughout the year it’s the farm café that is so intriguing, an enterprise that epitomizes the delights of locally sourced home-style farm cooking.
