I…read morewas aware that they offered farm tours, I was there to visit the shop and to purchase cheese. I love blue cheese and from what I read, this creamery had an award-winning blue cheese. The woman at the counter was extremely helpful and gave me a rundown of their various cheeses, they had several different blue cheeses along with cheddar cheese. She then offered us a tasting of some of the cheeses, and we loved them all. I We also ordered a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches which we ate on the picnic tables out front of the shop. I won't say that it was the best grilled cheese that I have ever had but it is high on the list. Although I wanted to buy one of everything, I decided to buy two blue cheeses and one cheddar along with a dip knowing that I could order more via the web. As we made our purchase the woman asked what we had seen and where we were headed. She made a couple of suggestions which were already on our list. As we left, I found myself thinking that everyone we had interacted with was so friendly and helpful, which made it a very pleasant experience!

We stopped by this afternoon and picked up sweet corn and peaches. Didn't need any onyons. Had the sweet corn for dinner. That is the best sweet ccorn that I've had in MANY years. I am a critic when it comes to sweet corn and that is possibly the best I've ever had, at least in the last 10 years or so. Looking foreward to trying the peaches.

They open at 9 AM.

Produce! Cheeeeses! Wax Skulls! Wax Skulls?!? Yep. Wax Skulls!…read more SITREP Should you find yourself in Medford, OR on a Thursday morning, DEFINITELY head on over to the Medford Armory, where - in the Armory's parking lot - you will find the Rogue Valley Growers & Crafters Market ("Rogue Market")! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=JZqbYnqxY1QMX_2gxbEpLA THE SETUP Like most Farmer's markets, Rogue Market has a lot of great produce - even floral - options, that are all spread out in nice spacious, roomy booths, with ample room between them so that people can stop, chat, compare items with each other, etc.: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=FTCIRkoEOfgnTes8qxp2KQ MARKET POPULARITY - BASED ON GREAT DISCOUNTS And where many markets I hit down here in California pay "lip service" to providing discounts from the main grocery store chains, Rogue Market actually has some pretty profound steals, such as these raspberries: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=MOEIewyb2w2KdoOszwzp8w My lovely hostess, Yelper GoGo M., took me around the market with her and I could see the low cost of many vegetables (onions, cucumbers, etc.) and fruit (melons, watermelons, berries, etc.) compared to what we saw in a couple of cursory trips to the local food chains. CHEEEEEESE! I was surprised to see SEVERAL cheese vendors on hand, hocking their tasty cheese wares! Usually at the Sacramento markets I hit in the Downtown grid, we are lucky to have just one. The cheeses were varied - from soft to hard, goat to cow - they were all over the board, with artisan quality: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=9TuPNBKt0eo_ZBGpLdoYBA And the vendors eager for us to try their samples - and to good effect: we bought several varieties. HOT FOOD VENDORS & FOOD TRUCK VENDORS Many of the produce sellers also provide some great hot food options. We enjoyed several vegetable & cheese "turnover" pockets that were absolutely delish, with options ranging from Mushroom or Southwestern, etc.: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=MOEIewyb2w2KdoOszwzp8w And yep - the Food Truck mania has reached Southern Oregon, including this one tasty Peruvian vendor with some great Spanish options. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=vsGAG6zJk2tBuwZljvUytw CRAFTS! But where Rogue Market really stands out from most standard farmer's markets is in it's craftwares. I DO have to give props to the Saturday morning Midtown Market in Sacramento, because that one comes closest to what I experienced here in Medford. In both scenarios, there are many different craftsman that have some exceptional quality products. THE BEES KNEES! One vendor that grabbed my eye was the gentlemen selling delicate wax figurines. They were pretty spectacular! My favorite would have to be the skulls, and there were several varieties of those: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=iMNspK2KwpIxAS6hNIlc5g THE LOWDOWN Rogue Market is a great stop on a Thursday morning when prowling about Medford, OR.

The berries are also good. Next month, I'm really looking forward to the corn. The donuts at the donut booth smell and taste great and the breads are wonderful. It is about 99% nice people, except for the guy at the mushroom booth who was really nasty to me for asking for a credit card receipt (I'm a bookkeeper), and I have seen him be nasty to others. He has lost my business. But it's a lot of fun otherwise, and I like to support the local market.

Buy Local, Organic FARM FRESH EGGS!!!…read more We drove by this sign too many times to count. We had time today, so we took a chance and turned into the long driveway and just wanted to see where we ended up... Note: They put the sign out when they HAVE TOO MANY EGGS, otherwise the "regular" customers just call and come by to pick them up year round. The driveway is not paved, but it's no problem as long as you take your time. The road dead ends at the home of Marco and Allison. I wasn't sure I was in the right place or doing the wrong thing by driving all the way up to their front door. Marco was in the backyard talking with some friends/customers. I inquired about where we might be able to purchase the eggs that were advertised at the top of the road. Marco is great, very welcoming and all smiles. He said, "yeah, sure... give me a minute". He came around to the front of the house and introduced himself, showed us his wolf dogs and took our order. He was back in a few minutes and handed us a refridgerator cooled carton of eggs. Prices: 1 dozen medium $3.00 1 dozen Large $3.50 1 dozen Xtra Large $4.00 The eggs are fresh and delicious! I will most definitely save my carton and take it back for another dozen eggs *BIG Smiles*

Another Fantastic experience @ Phoenix Farmers Market in Phoenix, OR. !!…read more I used to frequent this gem of a place quite often and I'm glad to return! They make the best homemade salsa and soup in the surrounding area!! It's worth the drive and not too far out of the way. Forewarning, the salsa is on the sweeter side, per se, and I usually get 'medium' but they also have 'hot'. I've never had anything like it, it's sooo good. They have just about anything you'd want from a farmers market and my pictures don't really do it justice. And guess what, they're open 6 days a week!! The owner still makes her mouth-watering assortment of soups, but now-a-days instead of having them steaming hot in crock pots for patrons to scoop their desired amount, they are prepackaged and frozen for all to enjoy when it suits them. She says they are even more popular than before. It looks like the same modest place as before, very inviting, and well stocked. I'm thankful we have places like this around! If you haven't been here, check it out, you're welcome, lol.
