Farmers' Markets

Everyone has a favorite market or two. Those of us who are lucky enough to have one in the neighborhood are often quite certain that ours is absolutely the best!  Me, I love them all! I take photos of the vegies and fruit – I must have a gazillion shots of red peppers. I get to indulge my inner artist with my color shots.

The market at PSU on Saturdays is crowded with lots going on and tons of color, music, dogs, wine and people.  The Moreland Market is smaller, and feels more intimate. Milwaukie Market on Sunday mornings is a great place to get a few fresh things if I’ve run out or my tomatoes didn’t ripen as fast as I needed!  Plus sometimes Buchic Clothing has a booth set up across the street and I love their bamboo clothing – they have some wonderful things for babies!

The wonderful thing for me about the markets is that every year there are more and more of them!  At the coast,  Salem, Bend, Southern Oregon, even Selma where I lived as a kid and which I remember  mostly because we used to climb on the redwood logs at the sawmill my dad managed. 

Check out the list of the Oregon Farmers’ Markets – including all those in the Metro area, and plan a great summer trip – going from market to market and back! With a winery or two in between perhaps.
