Gresham Farmers Market

This was my first visit with the wife. It is right in the heart of downtown Gresham. There are quite few vendors selling fruits, veggies, crafts and plants.
The street was busy with people. The vendors were all friendly and helpful. You could spend hours there chatting up the different vendors and people from different parts of Oregon who come to sell their wares.
Parking is not too bad, there is street parking and also you can use the Multnomah Library’s parking lot to park. Food selection is good too, quite a few vendors selling different types of food. It is dog friendly as long as they are leashed and you clean up after your pets.
This is a much bigger and busier venue than the Gresham Saturday Market. We will be visiting here again!

Local — Local — Local
It’s a good market, they have music, fresh food, dogs and happy faces every where we turn. It’s a great place to spend our Saturday morning getting out into the community. Everything from honey, breads, soaps and veggies.
Keeping it local!

Good farmers market. A few craft booths, some really good baked good booths, some fruit vendors and about 6 food vendors. Pizza vendor had great pizza. We stocked on some marionberry cream cheese cinnamon rolls. Can’t wait to try them.

I am a sucker for a good Farmer’s Market. I got hooked on them when I was in Alameda, California and they had a great one on Wednesdays. From then on, I have been hooked.
My husband suggested the Gresham one, since we got a late start and didn’t want to drive all the way to Portland for the one downtown. It is still early in the season here, I know. Everyone who had fresh produce all had the same stuff, beets, onions and cilantro. Everything looked healthy and fresh.
There were a fair number of booths to choose flowers or tomato plants from. They had some rather large tomato plant for $ 2.50 each. Way better than the big box stores. These plants were twice the size of the ones I have been seeing. so that means twice the chance I might not kill them this season.
I am looking forward to going back later in the season to see if the produce selections gets bigger.

PLACE IS OPEN and you can tell the folks have been foaming at the mouth anticipating this because it was CRAZY BUSY! Just giving you all a heads up! Gather up your childrens’ and go hunting and gathering up for your fresh veggies, fruits, as well as fresh baked goods, tamales, and all the usual suspects! Got me some basil and tarragon earth friendly style. Picked up some Alsea goat cheese as well. Kick back and listen to some music (today it was marimbas) and watch the parade of dogs traveling through with their parents.
