Winter Market begins Nov 6th at 10am! Without taking a breath our summer market moves right into winter market on Nov 6th. That’s the beauty of operating year round! While we transition to meeting every other week, we have the privilege of enjoying fresh produce, even in the chilly months of January. Surprisingly, there is a wonderful assortment of winter veggies that can sustain you throughout the entire winter and we eagerly anticipate all the varieties our farms will be providing. Make sure to stop by our Information Booth for a winter market schedule. We have bookmarks listing all of our dates and special events planned throughout the season. With 72 vendors signed up for winter market, you won’t want to miss this abundant season of offerings! This week we welcome back Jerry from Sawdusters! Now is the time to start planning your winter snacks for our feathered friends. Jerry handcrafts bird houses, squirrel feeders and more. Also, Westward Whiskey is joining us this week! We haven’t seen them in awhile so try out some samples to warm you up! Grano Bakery is operating a double booth this week! They will be in a slightly different location across the aisle but no worries, our signs and early morning line of customers will direct you! Despite the stormy forecast for the coast, Robin from Wild Oregon Provisions will be bringing fresh crab and razor clams to market this Saturday! Plenty of freshly caught fish as well. As you know, Robin’s attendance can vary depending on what the seas are up to. Make sure to stock up while she’s here. Have you ever tried Radicchio? This week we’re celebrating this wonderful and versatile group of veggie varietals. Read on for some fun details about it’s growing popularity and an easy recipe to try out this unique and delicious vegetable. Plus we have a fun bingo game for our Power of Produce kids so they can learn about Radicchio as well! We are encouraging our kids to use their POP tokens on some this week. We’ve included our full list of attending vendors this week so you can plan your shopping list accordingly. Next week we will be releasing our winter vendor line up so stay tuned for exciting news on new and returning vendors. Finally, don’t forget our amazing SNAP match for our EBT and P-EBT customers! For every 20.00 spent, SNAP recipients can receive 30.00 of additional funds per market visit, thanks to our generous grants. It’s a great time to stock up, enjoy the wonderful flavors of the season and support our local producers. Find us this week from 9-2 at 2051 Kaen Road (at the corners of Beavercreek and Kaen Roads) right here in Oregon City. We can’t wait to see you! |
