----------------------
We've entered the month of bounty where long summer days become cool fall morning and nights, and likewise the cucumbers, summer squash and berries wind down to make room for apples, pears, winter squash, roots crops and spicy bunched greens. While
tomatoes, sweet corn and peppers will remain abundant, it's still best to do any canning, freezing and preserving projects now because it could always be just one more market until they are gone.
Persephone Farm
will be expanding to their extra large booth for the fall season, with even more beautiful crops from lettuce and beets, to the more celtuce and cilantro root.
These early weeks of September may be the last for strawberries, cherries, cane berries and blueberries. Visit Deep Roots Farm, Happy Harvest Farm, Unger Farms, Kiyokawa Family Orchards, ProFarm Orchards, Maryhill Orchards, Winter Green Farm and Sweet Leaf Farm to ensure your freezer is stocked, jams are made and you've had a fresh pie, cobbler or tart before they disappear until next year.
We also have Dragonfly Forge, Leikam Brewing, Naked Acres Farm, Nature's Wild Harvest, Nossa Familia Coffee, and Portland Bitters Project
back at market tomorrow.
See you Saturday at the market!
