This week at the market ....

When you eat locally, you have already chosen to eat seasonally as well, because our farmers only bring to market the produce that grows well in its natural season for our region. This means you get the best fruits and vegetables at their peak of flavor: lettuces, asparagus and strawberries in the springtime, tomatoes, peppers and sweet corn in the summer, squash and greens in the fall and winter. This is how all people everywhere have eaten by necessity until very recently. And while we’ve lately grown accustomed to getting anything we want any time we want it, many are now rediscovering the satisfaction of eating in tune with the seasons. At the Cascades Farmers’ Market, you can too!

You know you are getting fresh food at the market, but what if you have questions about how the veggies were fertilized, how the chickens were processed, what exactly goes into that lamb sausage or who picked the spinach and what their working conditions are like? Just ask – the farmers at the Cascades Farmers’ Market will be happy to discuss their products, and their production methods, with you. They are justifiably proud of their efforts, and they take to heart their role as stewards of the land. In fact, you just might find yourself with an invitation to visit a farm and see for yourself where your food comes from. Now, if you have similar questions about the grocery store apples that were grown in Peru or that package of ground beef….well, good luck.
