Tournant began with an oyster and a dream. Jaret Foster and Mona Johnson met while working at Portland Farmers Market, a nonprofit that operates several outdoor farmers markets in Portland, OR. Both had worked in professional kitchens in their youth and eventually, their passion for bringing together food and community led them to start an oyster pop up they named Oyster Social, where guests could enjoy freshly shucked oysters on the half-shell right out of hand at wineries, breweries or other events where their bespoke mobile raw bar surfaced.
