While there has been a small farmers' market during February and March, yesterday saw the opening of the 'full' farmer's market.
The weather cooperated and the market was bustling!
My sister admired the apple, pear, and plum trees.
Even this early in the growing year, there were lots of greens for sale.
These two talented young women played the University of Oregon fight song!
It's far too early and too cold yet for tomatoes - but there they were.
Early spring crops included radishes...
...and mustards.
Rutabegas
The biggest sweet potatoes I've ever seen.
Watercress
This nursery had some cool plants!
And my favorite cut flower stand had the lovely tulips (the first photo in this post) as well as this amazing display of daffodils.
The blue of this gentin is so strong and true that it is almost blinding.
A local mill had all kinds of grains for sale.
With all the healthy veggies for sale, the longest line in the market was at Hideaway Bakery! And yes, I was in this line and bought a parma braid and pan au chocolate.
New this season, the market has cooking demonstrations using produce and products from market vendors. Did I mention there was a pasta vendor with chocolate pasta?
Pretty and delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a promise - spring really is coming! I love everything you shared about that market.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I can't wait until the market in my area opens.
ReplyDeleteThat is a terrific market. I'm afraid I would be tempted to spend a lot of money! That blue flower is amazing and the variety of daffodils is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love this market
ReplyDeleteIn my little town a long time ago market was more beautiful
Now so so
I'm so jealous of the wonderful produce at your market. Love your blog
ReplyDeleteAwesome opportunity to visit such a lovely place. So many colors and things there!
ReplyDeleteWow, such lovely veggies and flowers. All the daffodil fields around here are in bloom at the moment but I don't think there are too many veg ready yet
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing market! I'd be in the bakery line too, but I'm fascinated that there's a local mill that has bulk grains. Wowzers!
