This weekend I hopped a train heading south to Portland with room in my suitcase to spare. I couldn’t wait until Saturday morning, when I knew the famous Portland Farmers Market would be open in all its autumn glory. Sure, Seattle has plenty of farmers’ markets that delight and dazzle. But Portland’s sprawling Saturday market, laid out over the central grounds of Portland State University, is a gem.
A day in the life of the Portland Farmers’ Market at Portland State University. And just think…this same thing is happening nearly every day of the week all over the city at 40 farmers’ markets. Woo hoo!
The Portland Farmers Market today announced that the Sunday market in the King neighborhood in inner Northeast, the newest of its five weekly markets, will stay open until Oct. 25.
