Visit the Farmer's Market
The Farmer’s Markets are in full-swing! They even have a few tomatoes now. Everything is fresh and delicious. You can also look for the signs for “Organically grown” or talk to the farmer himself to ask if the produce was sprayed.
We usually go to the Farmer’s Market at the OSU extension on Portland on Saturday mornings. This week, on Wednesday, I went to the one downtown in Couch park during my lunch. It was great! All the same friendly faces from the Saturday market and then some. They had fresh corn on the cob 3 for $1. Delicious, vine-ripe cantaloupes were only $1, and I found so many other wonderful tasty items that I had quite a heavy load. I even bought a yummy egg-salad wrap for my lunch made with eggs from the lady’s own free-range chickens.
Of course, all my usual favorites were there too. I got Lexi her little pecans she likes, some Christian Farms cheese, whole-wheat pizza crust, english cucumbers, raw honey and lots of other delicious veggies. On Saturday we bought 2 boxes of wonderful blueberries that disappeared in one day!
On Thursday, I made a delicious salad from many of my Farmer's Market finds, topped with fresh corn cut off the cob, organic baby tomatoes, shredded organic cheese, chopped raw jalepenos, avacado, drizzled in lime juice and salsa, and topped with some crushed tortilla chips. It was delicious!
So, check out one of the Farmer's Markets this week. It is a fun and interesting outing, plus you are supporting our local farmers. These are the local farmer’s markets of which I’m aware:
