This morning Beth and I went to the Farmer's Market. The day looked gray and gloomy, but the rain stayed away and the temperature outside was actually quite mild. Being the last day of October, we expected to see some characters and we weren't disappointed. There were quite a few little children dressed up for the day and one or two adults as well.
We started our day off by stopping for some goodies at Hideaway Bakery. As always their display of artisan loaves were beautiful.
Winter Squash continued to be in abundance at almost every stall.
Another vegetable in peak season were carrots. I loved this display showcasing Orange, Purple, Red and Yellow carrots. You sure wouldn't find that at a conventional grocery store.
This was a display of "Savoy" Cabbage. The delicate veins and ruffles on them were amazing.
New to me were these "Romanesco" Broccoli. They looked like a combination of sea shells and alien creatures.
I am always excited when a new product arrives at the market. Especially one that is widely available and grown in Oregon but hasn't been available straight from the farmer. Today we discovered this cranberry grower, Scott Rudle. He was selling bags of organic, Oregon Tilth certified berries from Bandon. I was glad to see that he had a steady stream of shoppers supporting his venture.
