Welcome to March!

We’re getting ever closer to spring and what better way to welcome a new season than by shopping for seasonal foods at the market.

Our next market is this Saturday, March 5th from 10-2. We’re excited to have Andrew Goldsmith coming with Mason Bees! This is a great way to promote pollinators right from your yard. Read on for all the details how to get started. Andrew will be with us through April 16th.

We know you have missed the market’s annual Seed Swap. We’re happy to report its return on March 19th so mark your calendars! While it will be a modified event, we are thrilled to partner with OSU Extension Service Master Gardener Program. Plan on bringing your seeds to swap and pick some up, as well. (No plant starts please).

This week we have the privilege of welcoming 808 Cheesecakes to the market. Jeremy and Jessalyn will be with us during the March and April markets, creating cheesecakes that celebrate flavors (Strawberry Guava, anyone?) from their Hawaiian heritage.

March gets a little tricky in terms of veggie variety but thankfully our farms have plenty of fresh greens and root vegetables to offer! Stock up on those dark leafy greens and nutrient dense microgreens for an extra boost of nutrition during these rainy days. They’re perfect for adding to a favorite soup or stew.

We thought the weather would hold for Maggy’s Farm plant starts but the soggy weeks have held them back a bit. Stay tuned for updates when we can expect veggie starts at the market.

Plan on joining us at the market for the freshest food, delicious hot food offerings, some local artisan wares and all your favorite distilleries.

You can find us at 2051 Kaen Rd (corner of Beavercreek and Kaen Roads) right here in Oregon City.

Offering backyard space to these incredible pollinators is a great way to help nourish the environment. One mason bee can generally pollinate about 95% of the flowers they visit. Each female does the same work as 100 honeybees and they rarely, rarely, RARELY sting.

Check out this article from our friends at Oregon State University for lots of information and plan on visiting Andrew to start your own Mason Bee habitat!
