Lane County Farmers' Market

For one reason or another, I have not been to the Lane County Farmers' Market in several years. 

In that time the market has changed with a dedicated building and new plantings. 

It's fall - with lots of apples.

And tomatoes

More tomatoes...

Love this sign!

And yet more tomatoes!

Goodness!

And onions.

And eggs.

And cut sunflowers.

Wow!

Lane County Farmers' Market

It's been years since I've been to the Lane County Farmers' Market.

The last post I show was clear back in August 2018.

With Covid, the market has changed - booths are more spread out.

There is no visiting, everyone is on a mission to buy the things on their list and get back to their car.

But in late October there was still amazing produce.

Local honey

Bell peppers

Assorted peppers

Brussel sprouts

Winter squash

Local grains

Enough carrots to feed an entire warren of rabbits.

Tomatoes

Pastries

Flowers

Pumpkins

Grapes

Apples

More winter squash

Autumn bouquets

And a lovely wreath.

Lots of reasons to grab a mask and make a purchase or two.

A Visit to the Lane County Farmers' Market

I had Saturday off for a change, so my sister and I headed off the the Farmers' Market.  We arrived around 11:30am and the market was busy, busy, busy.

August is a time of wonderful variety and abundance.

With all our summer heat, it's amazing that there are still fresh strawberries.

No surprise that there are tomatoes - large...

...and small.

A pepper variety pack!

Lovely fresh eggs.

Blueberries

Margarita melons

Red Haven peppers

Candice grapes

Fresh herbs

Pinky peachy zinnias

Oregon hazelnuts

Sunflowers

More tomatoes

Vida limes

Fresh off the vine!

First Visit to Farmers' Market

It's June and that means I should stitch a beehive or two.  I've kitted up Heart in Hand's "Bird in Hand: Summer" as it has a small beehive. 

As most of you know, I began working part-time in November.  As I often work on Saturdays, I've not been able to visit the Lane County Farmers' Market this year.  Last Saturday I had a day off, so off I went. 

Lots of colors and fragrances - from garlic scapes...

...to Swiss chard.

Pungent basil...

...and tomato starts.

New potatoes

Turnips, carrots, and onions.

Buckets of peonies...

..and iris.

My favorite bouquet - this combination of peonies and iris.

Color and fragrance again - fresh strawberries.

Weird and wonderful mushrooms.

Funky succulents for sale.

Lettuce

Radishes

Kohlrabi

And fresh fish from the Oregon coast!

A great June Market.
