This will be our last walk through the Beaverton Farmers’ Market until it opens again next year on Mother’s Day weekend. It’s been a good season despite a cool spring and I think all vendors and shoppers would agree that this year’s produce has been exceptional. But days are getting shorter and the rainy season will start soon so its time to wrap up shop. Let’s take one last look at what this amazing market has to offer.
Peppers, Onions, Tomatoes, Brussel Sprouts
Honey and Bees Wax Candles
Potatoes, Eggplant, Beans, Carrots, Squash
Halloween Painted Gourds (sorry about the blurry photo)
Giant Heads of Cauliflower ($2.00!)
Cabbage anyone!
Carved Gourd Bird Houses
Squash
Chestnuts Roasting by the Open Fire
Zinnias
Brussel Sprouts
Let’s have Crab Cakes for Our Farewell Lunch
Have a wonderful winter
See You Next Year!

No wonder you love your market; it is fantastic. Love the displays you shot. We have already started our rainy season 5 days ago.; kind of sad…

As a buyer, it’s always hard to see the FM season end, but as a gardener, I’m usually ready for the end of the long hot summer. Your area grows some beautiful produce and I’m always impressed with the market displays.

I love the Potatoes, Eggplant, Beans, Carrots, Squash photo and that last one is stunning with the trees in full fall colors. Our farmers market is starting up again, after the summer heat…we are lucky it goes year round. We never get a chance to see stunning fall colors like that!

Our local farmer’s market ends the last Saturday in September–much too early! It is so much of my early Saturday routine that I find myself wondering what to do–and where to find my fresh fruit and vegetable fix!
Delicious photos!!
Best,

Oh yes, crab cakes would be lovely!! I’ve so enjoyed your market posts. We read about the Portland food scene often up here and I am truly envious. I’d thought to visit this summer but it wasn’t to be, but perhaps by next summer travel will be in the cards again and we’ll head down that way to stroll the markets and sample the delights.
Cathy, I am really going to miss these Monday morning visits at the farmers’ market. They sell the most incredible stuff. Summer seemed to have flown by (even with the crazy happenings weatherwise) and Halloween is almost here! xo

Really nice!
Yesterday we drove north to purchase our supply of Butternut Squash. In my local area (MA) the rains from Hurricane Irene affected the local crop. So happy to have our supply!

So sad to see it close for the season! Our summer did seem terribly short this year didn’t it? Road trips to some local farms have been the highlight of my weekends lately. What a great state we live in!

Wow, how sad the market closes for the season! I mean, look at what wonderful things there still are to buy and sell. ANd yes, a happy face pumpkin, a few crab cakes and something gorgeously violet hued. Beautiful…

It’s always sad to see summer and the farmer’s markets end. The trees there are beautiful Cathy.

All those beautiful colors and wonderful produce. I went searching for chestnuts yesterday and they’re still not available here. Can’t wait.

Oh, my. The cauliflower looks like white, fluffy clouds… so perfect. I love that the Brussel Sprouts are iced… and the gorgeous vegetables… and when I looked at the pic of the beeswax candles, I could actually *smell* them! Beautiful pictures and such a nice market, but I bet you’re happy for the 6 month break!

Everything looks so good Cathy! Seems like this whole year is just flying by. I’m sure you’re sad to see the market close, but it sounds like you had a fun year:@)
So sad! I wish I would have visited our farmers’ market more often this season but first the cold and rain, then the awful heat, and then the rain again. It hasn’t been the best season here either.
You have such a wonderful farmers market!

So, does this mean that you get a little more time to yourself? I’m always sad when my favorite farm stand closes for the year. Fortunately, our Farmer’s Markets stay open year-round.
What a beautiful Farmer’s Market – those bird houses are amazing!! It’s always sad to say goodbye to the market before the long hard winter!

I was marveling at the vivid colors of those vegetables. Nature provides us with so much beauty.

Our market will be closing soon too, but the fruit stands and orchards are still open for the moment. And I say yes to crab cakes.
I love all those photos, I wish I live there!

Cathy, what splendidly beautiful photos of the Beaverton Farmer’s market. Thanks so much for sharing them!

Hi Cathy. Those cauliflower heads looks gigantic. Nice pictures by the way.
Cathy, beautiful! celebration of colors of vegetables and photos. This is kind of a sad time with the garden/s winding down. I’m about to pick the last of the eggplant and tomatoes today with nighttime temperatures in the low 40′s. The good thing is that we begin picking some kale, lettuce and spinach. Have a great one, Cathy.
