Gresham Farmers Market


I live in Gresham Oregon, so this is my local farmers market. I didn't take too many pictures while there, but wanted to share the few i have and just my experience there.

I've been to the market plenty of times before. It's always exciting yet a little boring for me to go. If actually planning on buying produce, then it's a bit more fun. Most of what is there is produce and hand crafted things. I either don't like or don't have the money for most of the handmade things. And unless planning to buy produce, not much worth checking those out. There is also the food section, but i wasn't really interested in wanting to try most of the stuff, and now with my daughter at the age of not wanting to sit still too long, makes it hard to try them now.

On this trip, I went with my mom and daughter, we bought one zucchini for me to try something with, a bag of kettle corn, a small thing of strawberries, a bag of cherries, italian ice, pulled pork sliders, sweet potato pasta, and some cookies. I believe that was all that we bought.

The first picture in this post, there's a stand that sets these jams out for you to taste before buying, didn't actually buy any this time, but i love trying this. That picture was also the best one i took of the ones i took. I liked some of the pear ones they had.

 Just a small part of the market.

 My pina colada Italian ice i had. It was soooo good. The people who make it use real fruit for their flavoring.

 The place i got it. Only thought about getting it because we saw a coupon for getting one half off. So i got mine for $2. Should of been $2.50 but the lady said she didn't have enough quarters for the chance, so she gave it to me for $2 instead. I had $.50 on me and offered, but she said it was fine.
 Some black flowers we saw.

 My daughter riding in the wagon we brought with us.
and Last picture, a very large dog i saw there.

All in all, it was a good trip this go around. Will be going again next Saturday. Other than that, not sure how much i'll go. I would need to be walking into town to be able to go and with how my daughter has been sleeping, being able to get up and into town before they close down is a slight challenge.
