A short news clip from the Portland, Oregon Farmers Market shows that there is much more than just fruit and veggies at markets across the country. Most markets also have many booths of artisans selling their goods, as well as healers, readers, and entertainers.
At our market today, we had a Spanish Guitar player who was incredible, and on the next block, a four-piece jazz band was playing. Each week the musicians are rotated to give so many of our talented locals a chance to perform.
If you are in the area, Portland's market runs every Saturday!

I love the idea of having musicians at a farmers market...I have never seen that done before.
I was out saturday and found some great little treasures.. I can hardly wait for it to get into the full swing of things...
now you would think that since I live only about 60 miles away I would make it!!! Bad Crone!
The market sounds like it would make for a fun day. Our Saturday Market is a bit more downscale, but we have loads of vendors and green grocers. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
I love the farmer's market. Ours is kind of lame compared to those we had in the midwest. I'm in Las Vegas now, and...well...the desert doesn't really lend itself to too much farming! But we have some small local efforts, a couple that come in from Cali, and some crafts and food vendors. It is still fun to go to and the fresh food that is there is wonderful and appreciated.
