Bliss Butters are the best!

Oregon City Brewing Co. AND Feckin Irish Brewery this week! Have a cold brew at the Market…

Please note…. the Market does not sell bottled water. Who doesn’t have a water bottle at home to fill and bring? Plastic water bottles are a major source of pollution and are resource expensive, not only to make but to recycle also. We will have large cups of water you can buy for very little money at the Fresh Start Cart…plus lemonade, fruit smoothies, coffee and ice cold beer…brewed right here in OC by Oregon City Brewery and Feckin Irish Brewery! Music this week is a market fave..the How Long Jug Band..ALWAYS a good toe-tapping time when they play..from 10am-1.30pm.

Next week is a fun Market for the whole family! It’s our third annual Householding Fair….lots of great information on Urban Homesteading, preserving food, keeping chickens and goats, rain-water-harvesting, green cleaners, composting, spinning fiber, turning your lawn to food production, and much more! Local author Harriet Fassenfest will be here to talk to you and to sign her fab book..the Householders Guide to the Universe! The Portland Homestead Supply Store with have a booth with all kinds of cool items for sale, plus the kids will grind (Bob’s Red Mill) wheat berries on a stationary bicycle..and we’ll make them pancakes! Tons to see and do at the Householding Fair, Saturday June 20th.
