Memorial Day Cooking Inspiration at Oregon City Farmers Market

May 26, 2022

Memorial Weekend at Oregon City Farmers Market.

This week we are sharing an excerpt from Sam Sifton, Food Editor at the New York Times. Since we’re a food market, his words seemed appropriate in light of the recent tragedy in Texas.”These are the most difficult mornings: the sun rising after senseless acts of violence, shining on beds that weren’t slept in, that won’t be slept in again.

And I’m here to tell you what to cook right now?
Food plays a central role in our reaction to tragedy, to death and grieving. Its why casseroles appear on the doorsteps and countertops of those experiencing it, why we feel the urge to roast chickens or assemble lasagnas when the news is grim. Food is comfort of a sort, and fuel as well, for anger and sorrow alike. We cook to provide for those we love and for ourselves. In the activity itself we strive to find relief, strength, resolve.

The whole weekend will be like that, I imagine, somber and muted all the way through to the Memorial Day on Monday, a holiday of remembrance”

We’ve received word from our berry farm’s their hopeful start date will be June 4th. Strawberries are still delayed given our wet, cool spring. RJ Farms will have a small amount to give us a taste of good things to come.

We’re excited to welcome the women of Mae Day Band to the market as part of our Summer live music series.  A female, family friendly, local Pacific Northwest band who play a variety of folk, pop, and rock music from the 60’s-90’s. Unique, acoustic sound with rich harmonies and upbeat vibe. Bright colors and warm sounds wherever they go!

We have a fun activity for our POP kids! This Saturday we will be doing a potato stamping project which is always a great way to get creative with veggies. Our POP club is for kids ages 5-12. Stop by our booth (right next to Info) to sign up! Plus, receive 3.00 in tokens to use for fruits, vegetables and food plant starts in the market.

Read on for some holiday weekend cooking inspiration, new vendors and who will be in attendance this weekend.

As always, you can find us at 2051 Kaen Rd (at the corner of Kaen and Beavercreek Roads) in Oregon City from 9am-2pm every Saturday!

With Memorial Weekend slated as the kickoff to summer (given the weather, it’s hard to tell) you might want to heat up the grill for some burgers or sausages.
This week we have Martson Farm, Rock Creek Romneys and Campfire Farm here for all your grilling needs.

Looking to grill with a vegan option? Mindful Mushrooms have great options for grilling. Prefer a burger? Plant based alternative meats are out these days and work great for burgers, even on the grill! Layer it up with fresh microgreens from Mulino Microgeens and veggies

Queen Chili is here with fantastic varieties, including their well-known Cincinnati Chili! Perfect for a holiday weekend that requires no prep. Queen Chili also make a delicious vegan version that is full of flavor!

Don’t forget veggie and hummus platters. Check out The Hummus Stop, Roundhouse Foods and Picasso’s Picante for freshly made hummus varieties and salsas. Pair it with fresh carrots from Wild Roots Farm or Sun Love and radishes from Canby Farm and Kitchen. Don’t forget Pita and Tortilla chips from both Hummus Stop and Roundhouse. Add some smoked salmon from Dank Fish!

Sinful Confections (GF/Vegan) and The Pastry Smith have decadent cupcakes, cookies, scones, bars and more for your sweet cravings!

It’s a great weekend to shop local

Convenient cocktails in a can! Trail Distilling is here with their local Gin and Tonics!

503 Distilling is also back this week featuring their latest addition to the 503 lineup, Marionberry Margarita!

Carl from CH Woodcraft, a market favorite, is back this week to ring in the holiday with his beautifully crafted kitchen wares.
Please welcome our newest vendor, Sasquatch Botanicals, featuring food with benefits. Healthy nutrient dense plant-based seasonings, drink blends and mushroom coffees crafted in small batches to highlight the fresh flavors and vibrant colors of organic and wild ingredients.
