Padron Peppers

Sun Gold Farm

Padrons are small, sweet peppers, great grilled or pan-fried with olive oil, and then sprinkled with salt. Right now, they are pretty much all mild, but once we get later in the summer, watch out! - a small minority of padrons will be hotter.

Organic Cherries

Kiyokawa Family Orchards

Several years ago, Randy Kiyokawa expanded his orchard to adjacent land, and started growing certified organic cherries and peaches! A few of the cherries showed up at market last year, but now the young trees are really producing! Kiyokawa has organic Bing and Rainier cherries for sale, as well as several other conventional varieties. They will probably be around for another couple weeks, so get them while they last!

Amaranth Greens

Blooming Goodies

Blooming Goodies is always one of our more exciting booths, because you can count on them to have interesting offerings that you wont find elsewhere in the market. Vegetables like Vietnamese spinach and purple sorrel are unique and full of flavor. This week look out for amaranth greens. They have health benefits similar to kale but cook in half the time. If you are not sure what something is or how to prepare it the vendors are happy to share ideas

Black Cod

Linda Brand Crab

Have you heard of Black Cod? It is a black fish with white meat and is caught deep in the Astoria Canyon. It contains more omegas than salmon and is described as "soft, buttery and melts in your mouth." It usually sells out by the end of the market, so if you want some, stop by early. They often have both fresh and smoked. Yum!
