JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes at Portland Farmers Market

Three cyclists of JDRF, a major charitable 501 organization dedicated to funding type 1 diabetes research, set up a playful fund raiser by biking in place telling silly jokes at the Portland Farmers Market on the campus of Portland State University, Portland, Oregon on May 17th, 2014.

Portland Farmers Market Opening Day 2013!

I went to the Portland Farmers Market this past Saturday for their opening day. There was so much fresh food, hand crafted treats and children playing – it felt like summer! Well, except for the brief shower of rain which seemed to give everyone a quiet moment to explore and enjoy themselves while waiting under shelter.

I have a huge bag of produce and tasty treats to work through, life can’t get better than this!

Buy Local!

Portland Farmers Market
Saturdays from 8:30am-2pm

Picture of the Day: Heirloom Beauty

Heirloom tomatoes are open-pollinated, non-hybrid tomatoes and have become increasing popular and readily available for their unique taste. Heirloom tomatoes have a very unique look comparatively, and are strikingly to me. These photographs are from the most recent Portland Farmers Market held at the Portland State University on Saturdays from 8:30am-2pm.
Cheers!
