Cider-pressing, parsnips and kiwi berries!

Beautiful produce from Flying Onion Farm.

Just love the change of seasons when we start to get different products in the Market! For any of you (like me) who have been waiting for Family Table Farms first parsnips this Saturday Larry will have them! Mary Johnson will be selling her kiwi-berries (the most nutritious food ever!) in gallon bags, get there early , they go fast! Apples will be everywhere this Saturday which has prompted OSU Extension to host an apple-pressing using Home Orchard Society’s wonderful donated apples (find them at Flying Onion’s booth) and also apples from other market vendors. This is a kid friendly event and tasting it afterwards is the prize! Kelly Streit from  Extension will be manning the press and heating the cider for you to taste!

Pumpkins from Leone's Farm.

Pumpkins, winter squash, peppers, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, grapes, greens, lettuce, beets, summer squash, onions….and much more will be on the farmers tables. In addition the Market will take on a fall loook with gorgeous Fall Patio Baskets loaded with lots of color from Spring Creek Nursery. Tom will also have ” Kick The Salt ” Herb Baskets filled with evergreen herbs that can be used as salt substitutes and can be used year round!
