Corvallis Farmers' Market

This is a vigorous street fair devoted to local, often--even usually--organic fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, breads, cheeses. It has farmers whose passion and life work has resulted in the most luscious melons, berries, and tree fruits that can be grown in the area. The flower stalls add splashes of color. There are plants--both native and ornamental--that are suited to the area. Local craftspeople bring their baskets, pottery, fiber work, jewelry. On a perfect day in September (and in Oregon, September days are quite wonderful), the sun glows on the produce and happy, engaged people wander the farmers market in Corvallis. It's fun.
