The time of Farmer’s Markets are here. I’ve been loving the flats of fresh organic strawberries, bundles of carrots and golden jars of raw honey.
It turns out that there’s a Saturday Farmer’s Market two blocks from my house and I’ve been loading up on fresh everything for the last several weekends. There’s also the one downtown where I get different kinds of meats, mushrooms and not to repeat myself but – the HONEY. I can’t get enough of it.
I don’t actually recall eating so much fresh organic produce. In part it is just the amazing bounty of Portland farmers but also in part to the need that my body has to replace all the blood it lost so I crave tuberous veggies and fresh fruit like it’s going out of style.
With Admiral Fubar’s help and Ninja’s backyard, we will also have our first co-op garden this year, complete with more tomatoes than you can shake a stick at for caning salsa and tomato bisques this fall.
I hope you are all enjoying your summer so far, with plans for friends and family and wonderful fresh produce and many adventures.
