Market Updates
--------------
The market just keeps getting better week after week, and with the return of
Liepold Farms and their Boring, OR grown fruit, the first cherries of the season at
Maryhill Fruit Company, and the start of the
Power Of Produce (POP) Club kids programming, tomorrow's market is no exception. We are in the heart of Hood strawberry season, so make sure to buy in bulk from
Deep Roots Farm, Happy Harvest Farm, and
Unger Farms before this short seasoned favorite is gone until next year.
Make more out of your shopping trip to the farmers market, and turn your visit into a meal, music enjoyment, and community engagement. With ready to eat food options ranging from seasonal
Umi Organic noodle bowls, Somalian specialties, French style crepes at
Suzette, Ramona's famous breakfast burritos, handmade sausage grilled up fresh, melt in your mouth tamales at
Montiel's Cocina, and baked pastry options savory or sweet, you can come for breakfast and leave with lunch. And wash it all down with fresh hot coffee and cold brew from the female crew at
Central City Coffee, and cold pressed juices from
Portland Juice Company. Of course there's a variety of seasonal lemonades and agua frescas to slurp down as well.
We also have
More Bees, Townshend's Distillery, and
Ken & June's Hazelnuts joining us this week. We look forward to seeing you at the market!

Hood Strawberries
Unger Farms
The long-awaited Hood strawberries are here! These little deep-red bursts of flavor are an Oregon treasure, and an ephemeral one. The season for Hoods usually only lasts about three weeks, so get them while they last!
Cauliflower Pickles
The Fermentista
Sarah "The Fermentista" Pesout is new to Hollywood Farmers Market this season, selling a huge variety of small-batch fermented veggies. Each week she has something new, and this week she'll have the fresh-tasting and complex cauliflower pickle, as well as "cauli-leaf" sauerkraut - made with the rarely-used leaves of cauliflowers, and spiced with cumin, coriander and fennel seed. All the cauliflower comes from Deep Roots Farm, as does the cabbage in her more traditional sauerkraut. Stop by her booth (on the back row of the farmers market) to have a taste!
Asparagus Crepe
Suzette Creperie
Asparagus season is starting to come to an end, but Suzette's delicious asparagus crepe is still around for at least one more week. It's made with Gruyere cheese, sauce gribiche and a sunny-side up egg, not to mention fresh-harvested asparagus from Maryhill Orchards.
