Every neighborhood should have a weekly marketplace and the Whiteaker Community Market really…read moreraises the bar when it comes to community involvement. Every Sunday from 11am-4pm, local vendors and artists gather together on 2nd and Van Buren to display their delicious and beautiful goods. From shaved ice to vintage clothing and fresh veggies, you really can find some amazing treasures here. Every person I have met here whether it was a vendor or a passerby has been friendly and welcoming. You really do feel like you're a part of the community when you come here no matter who you are or where you are from. The market hosts yoga sessions, live music and open mic which gives artists an opportunity to showcase their talents. You can even use your EBT card to shop here for fresh food which is amazing! I've purchased essential oil sprays, yummy homemade snacks, organic makeup and my mom even had her tarot cards read. This market continues to grow each year and I can't wait to see what the future holds for this thriving neighborhood full of colorful individuals.

We've had a CSA through this farm for a couple of years. We love the selection of organic and…read morelocally grown food! They offer your basics such as potatoes and salad greens, and they throw in some delicious but less common vegetables such as kholrobi and beets. The CSA has different pick up locations in Eugene, so you don't have to travel all the way to Leaburg to get high quality organic food! They also have a stand at the farmers market in Eugene, which is another great option. It beats buying food in the grocery store that came from across the US or even the world! If you do make it out to the farm, you'll find that it has a very down-to-earth and homey feel. The people are exceptionally kind. We love going blueberry picking here every summer (just be aware of the stinging nettle).

I would put the local Lane County Saturday Farmers Market against any of them for local in-season fruit, produce, eggs, meats, and baked goods and many other local products. It runs 11 months of the year. I can be found there at opening every Saturday unless we are out of town. Everything sold fresh is local and in season. Prepared food is made from local ingredients, mostly organic. On any given Saturday there are four or six bakeries with very fresh baked goods available with some of the best bread, croissants equal to Paris bakeries, many, many sweet and savory pastries. Many rural farm stands are represented with their complete in-season produce, fruit and vegetables. There are always three or four booths selling foraged mushrooms in season with a great variety of cultivated ones as well. Several vendors raise and sell the best eggs I have ever eaten. If you beat me there, you might get some double yoked ones, but they sell out fast. Meat for the freezer, fresh fish and canned fish, several hot food venders and if you can manage tastes in the morning several local pot distilleries are showing up these days. Everyone is pleasant and helpful and the culture is one of cooperation and helping other venders and customers so that all are successful. Come and check it out. The new pavement makes it easy to move around, stay dry. There are tables for you to eat your hot food. Don't forget to take some flowers home for the vase from the four or five vendors who are there regularly. The large open building houses about a third of the vendors with large open doors, the rest bring their own tents and the outdoor arrangement is easy to change for the day. You come too, but save a little bit for me!

I planned to just buy something so I could use the restroom and warm up, but I ended up browsing their wonderful selection of local and bulk foods. (I even discovered a Cottage-Grove based coffee roaster, Laurel Mountain, which I have never heard of before!) A classic, funky, nice little natural foods store. Nice guy behind the counter, lots of customers chatting with him. Ended up leaving with a pack of cookies, some coffee and hot sauce for gifts, and some bulk rolled oats. I definitely recommend this place.

I'd like to describe the less than friendly experience that I had at the organic redneck stand at…read morethe Eugene Saturday Market this afternoon around 1:00PM today. As I was purchasing several vegetable items, the young man helping me told me that he really liked my glasses, but the coating really hampered the interaction because he could not see my eyes. He also acted very surprised with the vegetables (4 tomatoes, 2 cucumbers and 1 clove of garlic) when I put them on the scale and reacted with a "whoa". This may not seem like a big deal; however, this person clearly had some concerns about what I was buying, did not like my glasses and made it a point to tell me in a very patronizing, unrealistically friendly way. I found all of this to be condescending and passive aggressive. My concern here is not with his like or dislike of anything about me, or his opinion about my buying habits, whatever they might be. It's the fact that he should not be voicing his personal opinions to the customers that are spending money at the stand. There are tons of other choices of where I can buy the same or similar items at the market and because of this experience, I will not be returning. This person clearly doesn't know their place and displayed a level immaturity that doesn't belong in any type of service role.

The variety they planted is Albion, they are huge, pithy inside and despite the farm staff saying they are sweet it is not accurate. They are not juicy or sweet and do not fully ripen on the inside. We picked only fully red fruit and tired to pick all sizes, most were HUGE. Picking the fruits was pretty easy but you did have to spend time looking, plants were not "loaded" with ripe fruit. We pick strawberries for eating fresh and freezing for winter use on cereals. We do not use them for jam, desserts or other dishes where sweetener is added. They may work really well for those purposes. The farm is located in a lovely setting and grows a variety of produce, also available at their stand at the Lane Co Farmers Mkt in Eugene. We can't speak for the other produce. the 3-star score is only for the strawberries. We are veteran u-pick folks in the Eugene area. In our long years of experience this strawberry is underwhelming even if it is organic. Other local farms may not be certified organic, you can always ask the farmer about their practices. We have learned that some use IPM and use organic fertilizer or herbicides very sparingly. The varieties are smaller and much tastier.
