To Market, Year-Round in McMinnville
Portland doesn’t have it yet. McMinnville, Oregon has it. A year-round market that is. Oh, I have my fingers crossed for this endeavor. So many things going for it thus far. It is in a charming setting, in a historic granary district, much like the one where we located our winery and tasting room.
The graphic design and e-marketing are well-done so there is talent on board. Nice diversity of vendors. I bought some cabbage (to serve alongside some black-eyed peas that I stashed in the freezer). One dozen farm-fresh eggs (should have taken photos of those beautiful little quail eggs and speckled turkey eggs). Mmmmm….still thinking about that apple pie, with its sweet flaky crust. I had the last little bit of an individual pie ($5) last night, and dreaming of a custom-order of one of 20+ pies they can make. I see a pie and pinot party coming on. Jewelry, barbeque from the Valley’s best known rib-slayer, wine tasting from boutique producers, refurbished vintage furniture, locally raised meat, kid’s activities (we got free used children’s books last weekend). I see from the website that they’ll have just-caught crab this weekend. See you there!
