Summertime = Farmer's Market Time

Who does not love summer. Sunshine, flowers, fruits, and veggies are abundant here in Portland. I just love it, and going to the farmer's market to me is like a celebration of the season. They are so fun, there is music, dancing, food, and of course the highlights of local seasonal fruits, veggies. We went to the Eastbank Market on Thursday and there was even a vendor selling fresh fish. In so many ways Portland is so similar to Germany, yet so different. Tuttlingen has markets twice a week in the spring and summer, but I have yet to see a band and dancing there :) Here are some links, http://www.portlandfarmersmarket.org/, Hollywood Farmer's Market http://hollywoodfarmersmarket.org/, Montavilla (East Side neighborhood) Market http://hollywoodfarmersmarket.org/, Sellwood http://www.morelandfarmersmarket.org, to name a few. Check this link for a listing of markets throughout the State of Oregon http://www.oregonfarmersmarkets.org/directory.html. Enjoy!
