Wake Up! It’s time to go to the market. It’s another Saturday in August at the Portland Farmers Market PSU. Open 8:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. – March thru October. Farmers Market Day is my favorite day.

Portland Farmers Market at PSU

Images from yet another beautiful day at the Portland Farmers Market at PSU on Saturday, so bountiful…
A few peeks at some of the food vendors like Via Chicago for their Chicago style pizza and Pine State Biscuits sandwich with a buttery biscuit, fried chicken, a slice of Tillamook cheddar and then added extra of pimento cheese. Also pictured is a special Mushroom Duxelles from Marshall;s Haute Sauce that day and my normal favorite Carrot Habanaro Curry. Meanwhile, Verde Cucina is always a popular long line as you can smell their grilled vegetables and adobo chicken luring you towards them from half the market area!
Until the next visit to Portland Farmers Market at PSU

I have a confession. I am a farmers market addict.
Even when I travel and am staying in a hotel and have no kitchen, maybe not even a fridge, I check to see if there is a farmers market to visit. I’ve been to Farmers Markets in upstate New York and in Manhattan, in Vermont, in Arizona, Boston, Chicago, California, in Washington the state and Washington DC the district.
On Saturdays, I have been going to TWO farmers markets- both the Hollywood Farmers Market to wander before my workout class, and then right after the workout class to the PSU Portland Farmers Market. I just love browsing, looking at all the beautiful goods from the farmers, and then maybe also looking at all the people there too.
Here are a few of the photos I couldn’t help but take just to capture the wonderful bounty of things I was seeing. You’ll probably see these posts once in a while where I just am showing off how wonderful these farmers markets are!
Hollywood Farmers Market
Open all year round on Saturdays.
Portland Farmers Market
One of 8 locations of the Portland Farmers Markets.
Available at both markets: Gabriel’s Bakery and that freaking addictive cheese croissant they have (you can see it in the left back), among other baked goods. I don’t even have to say anything at the PSU Farmers Market, she just starts reaching for them and it’s only a matter of how many I want to buy this time…
I hope I am encouraging you to visit the Farmers Market this weekend! Which one do you go to, and what do you like to buy?
Saturday Reportout: Market Gourmet/Tart Lady’s Birds Nest with Bacon and Egg + FHWAF
March 31, 2013 by Leave a Comment
So far this weekend…
I ate this! Market Gourmet (also known as the Tart Lady) at the Portland Farmers Market at PSU: Birds Nest with Bacon and Egg… purchased on Saturday. It was the perfect way to start the Easter weekend.
And then I was off to the first Portland Farmhouse and Wild Ale Festival at Saraveza. what you see below was the first beer I had, the Solera Brewing “Lapin Lover” Wild Kriek.
Later, we went to the Tardis Room where I had a huge goblet of a Bloody Doctor (bloody mary) and we played a few rounds of pool and a plate of fish and chips, beans and toast, and mushy peas (basically, repeating our last visit, but with friends instead of just F and I) before returning home. I prepped an Easter Strata, which I will share in an upcoming post.
New Portland Farmers Market Vendor Saturday: Nightlight Farms

New vendor at the PSU Portland Farmers Market for 2013: Nightlight Farms, an urban microgreen
I used those microgreens to make me feel a little bit healthier about the Chicken Liver Bourbon Mousse (with chicken liver, bacon, apples, mushroom, garlic, onion, butter, mascarpone, spices and salt) from Chop (also from the same visit to opening day of the Portland Farmers Market at PSU) that I was eating generously smeared on a sliced baguette… Yeah, healthy because I was also eating greens as I ate that whole mousse by myself over a couple days.
I also used their microgreens- pea shoots and broccoli sprouts- to top a gouda mac and cheese… coming in a future post!
