Seasonal Saturday: Long Lines, but Worth the Wait!

Beautiful assortment today from the Portland Farmers Market!

⠀

This weekend is the first really gorgeous weather Portland has seen this spring, with temperatures in the low 80s. I didn’t realize how many people that would bring to the market.

⠀

To ensure proper social distancing, they only allow a certain number of people into the market. When they reach that number, only when someone exits the market can another person enter, which means a line forms to get in.

⠀

I’ve been coming to the market every Saturday for weeks, rain or shine, and the line has never been very long. Today I had to wait 25 minutes to get in!

⠀

Obviously so worth the wait. Look at all this amazing food!!!

⠀
