Photo report: Oregon City Farmer’s Market in July
Ed. Note: If you enjoy this post, please consider having Almost Fit delivered to your inbox. Thanks.
As is our habit, we stopped by the Oregon City Farmer’s Market on Saturday to pick up much of our week’s produce. The Oregon City Farmer’s Market is smaller than many other markets, but we are slowly getting to know the vendors and have found that the size of the market makes it a little easier to recognize familiar faces.
We definitely believe that getting to know where your food comes from, how it’s grown, and supporting the local economy by purchasing from local farmers is a critical value for our family. By both word and example, we hope that these concepts are passed along to our kids who go with us week after week and observe our pleasant conversations with local farmers and vendors.
And nothing is more satisfying than freshly picked berries in berry season here, as our kids know well.
Without further adieu, here are a few photos of this weekend’s spread. And believe me, the food tastes as good as it looks.
As the sign says…Fresh Garlic
Hydroponically grown heirloom tomatoes
“Specialty” beets grown with no chemicals
Flats of blueberries….We are eating them by the handful in the heat.
Raspberries and blackberries
Radishes
Though these little guys were not for sale, Jonah and Rima enjoyed watching them, as well as looking at the eggs. The booth is maintained by the local 4H club.

What’s almost as good as food out of your garden in the backyard? The farmers’ market! Those tomatoes and berries look fabulous.
Hey there Jenn – Yep, I totally agree. And I have to say, although Southern California has such an abundance of incredible fruit that grows there, there is nothing like the berry season up here. We miss so many things about that area, but we get phenomenal berries as a consolation
I love farmer’s markets.
Those are some brilliant photos as well.
What no bread?
You are very lucky. Look at those berries, they are so good!
