 2012 hasn’t been a banner year for my annual farmer’s market photography project. We got off track with our weekly visits in July, and after that, even when we did go, we stuck close to home at the Hillsboro Farmer’s Market. (The Beaverton and Portland markets have just become so crowded, the experience quickly … Read On! There’s More!  It was a classic early-season farmer’s market visit this week – four-dollar-a-pint strawberries and abundant flowers. I’m so happy summer has finally arrived and I can dip into this goodness every weekend. Here’s my other early-season obsession: sugar snap pea pods. I’ve never been a big fan of cooked peas, but I eat the living … Read On! There’s More!  Just a quickie post, to celebrate the beginning of farmer’s market season here in PDX! And so begins my weekly project of immortalizing pretty produce. And then buying it. And then cooking and eating it. The walking around photographing felt especially nice in the light of my current creative slump. It felt really good just … Read On! There’s More!  K’s parents are in town this weekend, so we made an early-morning visit to the Beaverton Farmer’s Market yesterday – more than likely, our last market visit for the year. It’s quite a testament to how wacky our growing season has been this year – I’ve never seen the market this teeming with produce this … Read On! There’s More!  Woo-Hoo! We’ve made the farmer’s market three weekends in a row. Check out these giant onions! The Hillsboro market isn’t the most photogenic market in town, but the prices are just amazing. Seven poblano peppers for two bucks! Heirloom tomatoes for $2.50 a pound! Best of all, we finally scored pickling cukes. I do … Read On! There’s More!  I must admit, I really loved waking up not-exhausted this Saturday morning. We headed out to the Portland Farmer’s Market at PSU early, after a trek to our favorite waffle cart which ended up being closed. She said thwartedly. I didn’t buy any of that lush basil, as I live in a non-pesto-appreciating household. But … Read On! There’s More!  Life finally conspired to let us pop over to the Hillsboro Farmer’s Market this weekend. It was eerily empty, which meant things were amazingly priced. I tried to give as many veggies good homes as I could, but we’re gonna have to put our backs into eating it all this week. Unrelated: I do think … Read On! There’s More!  We made a quick stop at the Orenco Farmer’s Market this weekend. It’s not much of a market, but I was able to find a few nice images. More importantly, though, I scored some berries to make a switchel. Have you ever heard of these? They’re vinegar-spiked drinks – I first heard about them via … Read On! There’s More!  We are soooo late this year, starting up our annual Farmer’s Market visits. Either the weather’s been too crappy, or I’ve been too exhausted by the weekend, or both. But today, fortune smiled on us at last, and we headed out to the market at Portland State University. It’s another odd season up here – … Read On! There’s More!  Since it’s a holiday (Columbus Day) in the U.S. and Canada (Thanksgiving), I think I’ll share the spoils of my latest farmer’s market visit. K and his parents and I had a lovely visit to the Beaverton market over the rainy weekend. I also got to play with K’s iPhone camera, which – wowee! – … Read On! There’s More! |
