Vendor News
----------------------
Summer has officially arrived, and that means that blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cherries and apricots are in abundance. There are still some late season strawberries, but you have to arrive early find them. Fava beans, peas and spring onions will soon be memories of the past, so get your hands on them now before it's too late.
The fields are fully bloomi
ng at Dancing Light Lavender Ranch, and Tanya and Don will be load
ed with
bundles of fragrant Royal Velvet
lavender for you to enjoy. Now is the time to get yours for drying and using for teas, infusions, and many other culinary and medicinal purposes.
Columbia River Fish Company is back again this Saturday, and hopefully every Saturday until the salmon season closes. Gabriel's Bakery also returns after a few weeks off to update bakery equipment. Dragonfly Forge, Portland Pet Food Company, Stellar Pop and Thomas & Sons Distillery also will be at market Saturday.
Bike repair booth this Saturday!
------------
----------
 Have an old bike gathering dust in your garage or basement? Or maybe you're a regular bicyclist but could still use a tuneup. In either case, never fear - the bicycle repair booth will be at HFM again this Saturday! From 8am to 1pm, Portland Bicycle Outfitters will be offering free bicycle repairs and safety checks. Then you can bike to the farmers market all summer!
Help us paint a mural on Hancock Street!
----------------------
Less than three weeks to go before we transform our block of NE Hancock Street! The Hollywood Street Painting Project has created the beautiful design you see below, and on Sunday July 10th, we will paint this beautiful 80-foot-long mural on our beloved block of Hancock Street. (If you're having trouble visualizing it, the stream is in front of where the music tent is on market day). You can sign up for project updates by emailing Sarah at [email protected], or join our Facebook event here. Mark your calendars, we will need a lot of help!
Senior Day July 9th!
----------------------
Two weeks from this Saturday (July 9th) is our annual Senior Day event! Seniors 65 and older can stop by the information booth on this day and pick up coupons for 20% off purchases at Hollywood Farmers Market that day. They can also enter a raffle to receive a free basket of farmers market goodies!
Upcoming Friends of Family Farmers event

Cultivating the Next Generation of Farmers - InFARMation June 28th!
|
The USDA estimates that 25-50% of farmland will change hands in the next decade. One cause for this change is that the average age of farmers across the US is 58 years old. Those producers are preparing to retire, or at least not work their bodies so hard.
Who then will grow our food?
Luckily, there is a growing population of folks interested in farming, but the hurdles facing these new farmers are many: high costs of land, limited access to capital, long days and low wages, etc.
After the film, we will hear from Molly Notarianni, Next Generation Organizer for Friends of Family Farmers and Matt Gordon, Portland Chapter Coordinator for Rogue Farm Corps. These two will talk about the barriers facing beginning agrarians, as well as the opportunities available here in Oregon for the next generation of farmers.
Where:
Holocene, located at the corner of SE Morrison and SE 10th in Portland. Please note: Holocene does not have a street sign. They do have a fantastic sound and video system, a full bar, and serve food.
When: The second Tuesday of every month.
5:30-6:30 - Arrive, networking, enjoyment of food and beverages
6:30-8:00 - Speakers(s), Q & A
8:00-8:30 - Additional discussion, networking & enjoyment of food and beverages
InFARMation is always free and open to the public, AND IT IS ALL AGES!
