For two decades, Portland Community College’s Small Business Development Center, in partnership with Oregon State University's Food Innovation Center, Portland Oregon and New Seasons Market, has helped food entrepreneurs turn homemade recipes into retail-ready products through the Getting Your Recipe to Market (GYRM) training program.

With more than 500 graduates and over 300 businesses launched, GYRM has guided aspiring food makers from idea to store shelf — many starting with nothing more than a passion and a recipe. Here's to 20 years!

For 20 years, PCC’s Small Business Development Center has helped local food makers turn recipes into retail-ready products through our Getting Your Recipe to Market training program.

This 12‑week journey has supported 500+ graduates, launched 300+ businesses, and even gives participants the chance to pitch directly to New Seasons Market buyers. “It’s incredible to think about how many entrepreneurs start with an idea and walk away with something real,” said SBDC Director Tammy Marquez-Oldham.

From idea to shelf-ready brand — GYRM continues to fuel Oregon’s local food economy. Celebrate with us GYRM's 20 years of impact and apply now to join the next program cohort: https://www.pcc.edu/news/2026/03/gyrm-anniversary/
