King & Lents: Sundays Through November 21st

July 23, 2021

Spend Sundays at the Farmers Market This Season 

Farmers markets are vital to the health of our communities—urban and rural alike—in providing access to high quality, local food that supports the local economy and by fostering community connections. Shoppers at the farmers market have 15-20 social interactions compared to the 1 or 2 at the grocery store. Here are just two of the friendly faces you’ll find at Portland Farmers Market weekly.

Southeast Portland: Lents International Farmers Market
Sundays through November 21st

9 a.m. – 2 p.m. at SE 92nd & Reedway

Vendor: Sulina’s Garden

Sulina and Lee cultivate their flowers and produce themselves on roughly four acres in Boring, Oregon. Each week you’ll find beautiful arrangements, farm fresh vegetables and berries. Sulina say she is stunned by the beauty of flowers and loves bringing happiness to shoppers at the market every single week. You can follow Sulina’s Garden on Instagram.

Northeast Portland: King Farmers Market

Vendor: Robyn’s Craft Bakehouse

Robyn’s Craft Bakehouse is a small-batch bakery in Portland, Oregon that specializes in whole-grain crackers, crisps, and breads made from locally grown, organic grains sourced directly from Oregon farmers. Robyn’s vision is to support a local, sustainable grain economy by connecting our community to the farmers who grow our food.

Farmers Market Week is coming August 1-7!

$4 Million in State Funds Secured for the Expansion of Double up Food Bucks

This Spring our sister organization, Farmers Market Fund, led a coalition of statewide organizations who successfully secured a state appropriation of $4 Million in the final days of the Oregon Legislature. This is nearly triple the State of Oregon’s previous investment in Double Up Food Bucks, and we are SO excited!

By providing a dollar-for-dollar match at farmers markets, Double Up Food Bucks enables SNAP shoppers to stretch their food budgets and purchase more farm-fresh fruits and vegetables. These funds will make a HUGE difference in supporting families, farmers, and farmers markets over the next two years—especially as we’ve seen demand for the program skyrocket during the last year.

It’s Blueberry Week! There’s still time to stock up on the unrivaled taste and freshness of farm-direct blueberries at the farmers markets.

Blueberry Week Recipe: Blueberry Limonada

by Nico Vera, Vegan Peruvian Chef

From the Chef: “This blueberry limonada is inspired by chicha morada—a traditional Peruvian drink that families from Lima to the Andes mountains make with a purple corn elixir and lime juice that is sweetened and spiced with cinnamon. Corn is one of the primary foods that my Inca ancestors cultivated, and purple corn is rich in antioxidants. I now live in Oregon, so I wanted to make a drink that honored chicha morada but with local ingredients. Blueberries are native to the Pacific Northwest, have the same deep purple color as the corn in chicha morada, and are also rich in antioxidants. Here, the syrup is infused with cinnamon, cloves, and orange peel to give the drink aromatics. The vibrant color of the drink celebrates summer, and the garnish gives the drink a cocktail vibe.”

Talking About Food Justice

Staff at PFM and Farmers Market Fund have teamed up for a monthly discussion club to learn about anti-racism, historic disparities in food and farming, and the current food justice movement. This is part of moving our equity and food justice work forward. It’s opened our thinking about policies and practices.
Here’s what we watched and discussed last month:
