I just got back from the Parkrose farmers Markey located at Parkrose high school NE 122nd and shaver. There was plenty of fresh produce to purchase. The strawberries are gone. Raspberries, blueberries and marionberries are in season. The Cherries from Hood River are Van’s and Rainier’s. The peaches and apricots are from Maryhill. Lots of leafy greens were available lettuces, spinach, and Swiss chard. The Zucchini are green, yellow and light green Mexican. There are yellow and green beans. Gabriel’s bakery is selling their yummy whole grain baked goods. You can purchase tamales, elephant ears and caramel corn. Also there is pottery, soap and nursery plants. Local bands provide music for the market. No Dogs are allowed in the market. It is a small Market with plenty of produce. I am making a stir fry for lunch out of the zucchini. www.parkrosefarmersmarket.org
