NEWBERG FARMER'S MARKET IS HERE!

The Newberg Farmer's Market is here! Every TUESDAY from 1:30-6pm at the Cultural Center (next to the library and the park). And that means local Oregon Strawberries! Our strawberries didn't make it home before being eaten. That also means fresh organic asparagus and spring onions. We had some on the grill last night (a little olive oil, salt and wow--so delicious!) That also means fresh flowers--we got a huge bouquet last week for just $10 that are still on our table, and they are still opening up. That also means fresh eggs from chickens that are fed naturally and live a good life. And we can taste the difference! We had egg friitatta for dinner tonight--along with fresh greens and spinach (all fresh and available for great prices at the Farmer's market, too).

And here's a cool thing about Farmer's Markets. You run into really cool people! It's cool for kids, cool for parents, cool for students. Cool for anyone who loves fresh, organic, local food. And it's cool for June. Maybe next week, it'll actually be sunny! But all these people came out in the cool (and rain). Just think how many will be there when it gets sunny!
