forest grove farmers market

I just love attending the farmers market. There are lots of food choices, vendors and activities. There is always a children's table with fun things for the kids to do. Last time I attended there were two Mexican food choices, an English bakery (I highly recommend them, as the cream buns are amazing), Hungarian food, five different farms with various in-season items, The Pie Man (who has amazing homemade pies), kettle corn, an outdoor bar with really yummy margaritas, George's homemade fudge, and many booths with gifts ranging from items to pamper your dog to homemade soaps and lotions. If you are in town on a Wednesday from May to October, stop by between 4 and 8 pm. You'll be glad you did.

This farmer's market is every Wednesday, May through October, 4 to 8 p.m. all along the first block of Main Street in Forest Grove, Oregon. There are always at least three food stands, and most (but not all) will be selling Mexican-related fair (yum). But on some Wednesdays, there will be many more - check the market's Facebook page for when those are. Sometimes there's a beer garden. There are always a few stands selling farm-to-stand veggies and plants, and a few stands selling specialty items, like jewelry. Sometimes, there's music, children's face-painting, and other activities. If you live in Forest Grove, it's worth going to every Wednesday just for the fresh veggies and seeing your neighbors, and it's worth going to if you happen to be passing through Forest Grove on your way to or from the beach. Otherwise, it's worth driving to only if it's one of those special Wednesdays, when the weather is good and when there will be a LOT of vendors - you might be disappointed otherwise, as it's no where near as large as, say, the PDX Saturday market. Oh, and you can bring your well-behaved dog!
