We came out for the Allen Stone/The Dip concert, and it was our first experience at Topaz Farm. We…read morehad such a wonderful evening! The staff were incredibly friendly, the setting was beautiful and we loved all the wildflowers and sunflowers around the farm. It was a pretty hot day, so the lounge pass was definitely worth it. Also for closer bathrooms and drinks. I also really appreciated how the event staff went above and beyond to help me resolve a ticketing issue. They were kind, helpful, and made sure everything worked out. We really loved what Topaz Farm is all about and the whole atmosphere of the place. We'll definitely be back for more events and we're looking forward to checking out their meats and produce too. I highly recommend catching a show out here, you can tell a lot of care goes into creating a great experience.

The area itself is beautiful and there are a few other farms nearby on Sauvie Island that are…read moredefinitely worth checking out too while already out there. The store is a bit overpriced but its nothing egregious. The location is beautiful and they make burgers and stuff on weekends which I would like to try as its a beautiful place to just hang out. I got some pretty great Hood River cherries from their store while there, rinsed them with the hose out back and ate them all!

At the Public Coast Farm stand they serve Public Coasts beers and sodas. The blueberry wheat and blueberry seltzer are my favorites. They also serve the best root beer in the PNW. We always take home at least a 4 pack to make floats with Tillamook vaniila ice cream. Plenty of seating with umbrellas for shade and clean fancy porta potties. During peak blueberry season, they have u-pick and they pick opportunities. I spent a record 10 minutes in the field picking a half flat of the most flavorful blueberries. They have live music on most weekends and charcuterie boxes in the farm stand for lunch. What a wonderful space outside the city to relax and spend a Saturday with friends.

After finishing my work at the library, i figured I would take in some culture. I dropped off my…read morenotebook at my car and went over to the festivities at the Market. I really wish my dad was there with me...the band was playing all his favorites...Dylan, James Taylor, Carole King, etc. it felt like he was with me. It was raining a little bit, but hey, it's Portland. I came prepared with a windbreaker. It wasn't that bad though. I walked throughout the Market and looked at the offerings. There was a lot of 3-d printed items and crocheted items. Unfortunately I didn't have much money to spend so I window shopped a bit then I went back to Ocean Drive...they were really good and I gave them a good tip. It was definitely a really nice and relaxing way to spend a couple hours.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is arguably THE BEST Farmers Market in the…read moremetro-Portland area. I can't think of one thing you can't find here. Fresh produce (get there early if you want flats of blueberries as they sell out quickly and there's always a long line), bakery goodies, spirits, handcrafted items plus the prepared food is amazing too. Have breakfast burrito and a good latte, listen to live music, people watch, and then get some lunch before leaving. You can make a full day of it then go home and take a nap! My reason for four stars is the parking situation. The market is so huge and the lack of parking is what keeps me away. Nothing but street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods and many of the neighbors aren't happy about it and sometimes downright hostile (who can blame them?) Even the handicapped parking is woefully inadequate. Definitely worth a visit despite the parking issues.

One of the best things about the change of seasons is the Portland Nursery Annual Apple Tasting…read moreEvent, normally beginning on the Friday of the second weeked in October and running through the next ten days. This year's event begins on Friday, October 12, and runs through Sunday, October 21. During the festival the nursery offers over sixty varieties of apples and pears, all for only 99 cents a pound, as well as fresh-pressed cider and, on Fridays though Sundays, a tasting line where you can sample every kind of apple and pear the nursery has. Plenty of activity for kids, including a scavenger hunt, face painting, games, and pumpkin painting. Live music on both weekends and over a half dozen vendors. The nursery also sponsors the Annual Apple Tasting Food Drive, which benefits the Oregon Food Bank. Collections for the food drive end this year on the 24th. Like nearly everyone we pick up a good variety of apples and pears, debating later on about each variety's merits. We always grab a few kinds we've never tried. I'm partal to braeburns, king davids, spitzenburgs, and ambrosias (so popular that in years past there's been a one-bag limit), as well as Asian pears. There are also several rare, hard-to-find apple varieties. Get there early for the line for the free tastings. Give yourself ample time to find a parking spot since the nursery's lot is always full.

If your in line and catching up with a friend still pay attention or have your kids with you or you think you should text and walk. There is live music and some great food stalls. Yummy donuts too!

Hey Babe - offered a good cashew cheez. Rangoon Bistro - AMAZING!!! I love Burmese food, we tried two of their dishes, both were FANTASTIC, but spicy! I still ate it, it was so good. I found their pricing to be unique, they asked for $4-$10 per dish. I was very confused at first when they asked me what would you like to pay? I was like, huh?? They said do to Covid, as many our out of work, so they have a sliding scale, $4 is probably their break-even point, and $10 is probably their normal profit point. When he saw my look of confusion even after the explanation, he said how about $8, I said great! I think they have an AWESOME business model especially during this pandemic. Kate's Plant-based ice cream (vegan) - OMG, absolutely the best dairy-free ice cream I have ever had!!!! I really couldn't even tell it was dairy-free. If only they were local to me. I would be eating their ice cream every day!!!! I was super happy to find this farmers market, being both gluten-free and dairy-free can be hard and this place was perfect for me.

Running Sundays from 10-2, this small market features an impressive variety and selection for its size: Missionary Chocolates, Spiritopia Liquors, various food vendors including bakers, coffee, and such, fresh flowers (all the dahlias!), and several produce stands, one of which sold the best dang crispy tart apples I have ever eaten (I didn't get the name of the apples OR the seller, curses!). Both fellow shoppers and vendors were friendly and kind, everyone seeming to enjoy themselves. Parking was pretty challenging (surprise, surprise), but we eventually found a spot, and it was not too terribly far. This is really a neighborhood farmers market, but I had a great time (and wish I lived in the area so I could shop here with regularity).
