It’s hard to believe that school starts again in just a few weeks. At the market, it’s still high summer with peaches, melons, corn, green beans, tomatoes, and a lot more coming in.

Kookoolan Farms will be back next Sunday. Pine Mountain Ranch just received its poultry license and joins Kookoolan Farms as one of the few (less than 10) farms in Oregon raising and slaughtering poultry on the farm. We are fortunate to have both of them. Both farms are taking orders for Thanksgiving turkeys.

I-405 is closed northbound this weekend for repaving. You’ll need to take alternate routes if you normally use 405 to get to and from the market.

See you on Sunday!
