Seasonal Saturday: Long Lines, but Worth the Wait!



Beautiful assortment today from the Portland Farmers Market!

â €

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.

â €

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.

â €

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!

â €

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

â €

This week’s haul from the PSU Farmers Market:

â €

Flowering thyme, chocolate mint, purple cabbage sprouts, and whole wheat sourdough bread (not pictured) from Gee Creek Farm

â €

Strawberries, kale, carrots, and violet radishes from Groundwork Organics

â €

Flowering chives and sage from Simington Gardens

â €

Calendula from Raymond Kuenzi Farm
