Saturday Farmers' Market

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?
