The opening bell will ring in a few minutes at my farmers’ market and its time for a quick walk through before the aisles start filling up with people. In 30 minutes all the beautiful displays will start to change shape as determined shoppers work their way down their shopping lists. So come along with me for a quick look at what’s in this week’s market. I love all the beautiful displays of fresh produce. You can see the pride that the growers take in what they grow and bring to the market each week.
You can find these vegetables in DeNoble Farm’s booth. Tom’s farm is on the Oregon coast in Tillamook and he makes the 2 hours drive to Beaverton every Saturday.
There are many booths in the market that serve prepared foods so, whether you are in the mood for breakfast or lunch, you will find something that suits your taste. I often buy a hot meat pie at Pacific Pie Company.
Their pies can be purchased steaming hot and ready to eat or frozen so customers can take them home to their own freezers. The beef and mushroom and Sunday roast lamb are my favs.
I love popcorn so this will be on my shopping list very soon.
The market has many flower vendors who bring gorgeous handing baskets, bedding plants, vegetable starts, herbs, perennials, shrubs and trees to the market each week. The hanging baskets on Saturday were amazing! I hope you enjoyed our quick dash through the market. I always look forward to seeing what’s new that I absolutely have to buy. This week asparagus is at the top of my list. I found a booth with the big, fat spears that are my favorite.

Hi Cathy, I could spend hours at this market. I adore farmers’ markets, especially when they have such delicious and different items. I wonder if they would ship frozen pies?? Have a wonderful week. xo

I want to try all of the pies!
Veggies are so beautiful.
I enjoyed you quick walk through, Cathy. I have always said that I think your market is one of the best. Great photos but you left out one…actually the most important. There is no photo of your stand.

WOW! Really enjoyed your trip to your market; ours is much smaller and it will be a while yet before it opens.

Fabulous shots, Cathy! Looks like a wonderful market. Wish we had something similar locally here but we don’t!

This is a delightful farmer’s market, I think I would lose all my brains here and come home with way more than I could ever use – everything looks delicious, fresh and beautiful!

I love to see the pictures of your Farmer’s Market! The radishes look so bright and fresh and those meat pies – oh yummy (and not a bad price!) I would have a hard time picking one.

I really like the colored cauliflower, especially since it’s less work to grow than the white. Your nuts were a hit at the blogger party and thanks again for sending them – maybe next year you can just bring them with you.

Everything looks gorgeous Cathy! I’d love to try the fresh popcorn too:@)
My favorite part of summer is always going to the Farmers Market. We loved your nuts Cathy. Wish you could have come to the blogger party. My next market stop will be on rue Cler. I am so excited.

Your market is soooo much more sophisticated that our country Saturday market here. Wish we had the variety of vendors that you do.
Thanks for the nuts you sent to the east Tennessee blogger get-together at Larry’s. We had the time of our lives. Wish you could have joined us, but you were there in spirit. Hope to meet you some day.

I was thinking of you all and trying to imagine what Larry had going in his smoker. It sounds like a wonderful party. I would love to meet you all too, Sam. Maybe someday.

What fun. I love all the colors and freshness. Wish I could buy a lamb pie. I’m sure your market is a great place and I’d love to visit. I know I would buy some of your hot, delicious, roasted nuts!

HI!
Wanted to especially thank you for thinking of the group that went to Larry’s for the weekend. Great surprise to see your nuts. This year I won the award for the furthest drive… Next year we expect you to compete for the honor!

Hi Dave – thanks so much for coming to visit. It sounds like Larry’s party was a huge success. Next year I would love to win the honor of having come the farthest to attend! Bev would have to show me how to eat crawfish.
