New and returning vendors this Saturday!

Simington’s Certified Organic Produce from Aurora.

We’re excited to welcome new and returning vendors this week….57 total!  Parsons Farms is back with strawberries and rhubarb, Petal Heads with unusual annuals, Stonewood Rustics and Parts to Art with crafty art in wood and metal, and ….starting for the summer are 3 new vendors.

Strawberries, asparagus, rhubarb, peas….all in season now.

Joining us for the first time this Saturday is Romero’s Salsa (fresh, locally made and preservative-free), Shine Essentials ( deodorant, vibrational energy sprays, creams & lotions, tooth powder & healing salves organic sun block) and Souper Natural Soups and Pasta Sauces, locally-made from market ingredients, perfect for healthy fast food during the busy week! Try a sample or two this Saturday!  http://www.soupernatural.net/

The Market’s POP (Power of Produce) Club for kids is spreading across the US and even to Canada and Australia! It’s free to sign up and each market day the kids get $2 to spend on fresh produce and plants to grow their own food. The KidsCook program is back this summer, every 3rd Saturday of the month. Starting around 9.45am Chef Amy will guide groups of kids (ages 5-12 yrs) this week through simple hands-on steps to make something tasty from market produce (1pm is the last group). A BIG thanks to Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District for their funding (again) of the POP Club this summer!

Next Saturday!
