Portland Farmers market

Portland Farmers Market opens Saturday April 5, 2008 in the south park blocks in Portland State University. Open from 8:30 am to 2 pm. April is garden month at the market. There will be plenty of plants to choose from. In past years I remember seeing vegetables starts, herbs, bedding plants and a few shrubs. Local vegetables that are ready for harvest are radishes, spring greens and leeks. The list of venders is not posted yet. With over 100 venders there should be something that you like. It is a fun, interesting and very crowded shopping experience.

I love fresh produce right off the farm. The Portland Farmers market provides a huge amount produce to choose from. You can find every thing that you need for a meal or picnic; meat, fish, cheese, bread, prepared foods and flowers to go with your fruits and vegetables. I bought purple string beans which I haven’t been able to find any where else. I tasted a yummy coconut lentil soup.
