Market Updates
----------------
After another beautiful autumn week in Portland this Saturday is due to be a beautiful day at the market. Our vendors have all of Oregon's best fall favorites ready for you to
roast, bake, stew, and snack on.
We welcome two new vendors to the market tomorrow. First,
Birkeland Farm
will be coming with beef,chicken, eggs, and bone broth all raised on their farm in Beaver Creek, OR. Also joining the market is
One Stripe Chai,
offering a spicy chai concentrate that's hand crafted in Portland and great for mixing up a batch of the tastiest hot or cold chai on demand.

If you still have Farm Direct checks make sure you spend them by the end of November! The checks expire November 30th and all vendors at Hollywood Farmers Market that sell fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs will accept them. Check out the
Farm Direct Nutrition Program website
for more information.
Got any extra shopping bags laying around? We are
collecting durable, reusable shopping bags
for community use at the market. If you have any extra you can part with, please leave them in the metal bins on either end of Hancock St for any forgetful shoppers to grab.

Enter our Pie Contest Next Saturday October 27th
-----------------
During the October 27th market we will be hosting our annual Hollyween festivities in celebration of Halloween. Alongside our beloved Family and Pet parade, we will be holding a pie contest and sale (with all proceeds going to our SNAP Match program). Parade is at 11am and is a great chance to bring your costumed family or four-legged friend and show your stuff.
For those bakers and eaters of pie, A Slice for SNAP Match is for you! To enter a pie into the Pie Contest, bring your pie(s) to the market Information Booth by 10am on 10/27 and please provide two copies of the ingredients in your pie (we don't want the recipe, just an ingredient list for allergy reasons). For those more interested in eating than baking, starting at 10:15am we'll be selling slices of pie for $4/each. All the proceeds from the pie
sale will go directly to our SNAP Match program.

Broccoli Cheddar Soup
-----------------
Enjoy all the beautiful fall broccoli filling the market right now with this broccoli cheddar soup from
Smitten Kitchen.
|
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, chopped small
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth (here’s my favorite chicken stock)
- 1 bay leaf
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/4 pounds broccoli or 4 cups broccoli florets and stems, chopped small
- 1 large carrot (about 6 ounces) or 2 slim ones, chopped tiny (1 cup)
- 8 ounces (about 2 1/2 cups) coarsely grated sharp cheddar cheese, plus a pinch extra for garnish
Melt the butter in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes, then gradually whisk in the half-and-half until smooth. Add the chicken broth, bay leaf, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
Add the broccoli and carrot to the broth mixture and simmer until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaf and adjust seasoning if needed, but err on the cautious side with the salt because the cheese will add a bit. Puree the soup to your desired texture — I like mine fairly chunky, just lightly blended — with an immersion blender or in an upright one. Back on the stove, add cheese and whisk until melted, about 1 minute.
Serve in bowls, garnished with a pinch of cheese. We like a hearty slice of grainy toasted bread on the side, for swiping.
