Draper Farms is the roadside farmstand of my dreams! Now, they are not found along a major road or…read morehighway, so it's no wonder it took me so long to discover them, but if you live in McMinnville or thereabouts, they are worth a couple minutes drive out into the "country" part of McMinnville. I have taken to stopping here first on my weekly shopping trips. I try to purchase the majority of my produce at Draper Farms, then supplement as needed at the standard grocery store. I live pretty rurally, so I generally don't make it into town for the Thursday farmer's market like I wish I could. Draper Farms is the perfect alternative that I can hit Saturday, Sunday, or any day of the week that is convenient. Offerings cycle with the seasons, but they are growing lots of great stuff here, and there is always an excellent variety of options. A few of my favorites are their strawberries, radishes, corn, leeks, collards, and herbs. No matter the time of year they will have some sort of lettuce, cabbage, spinach, or other greens. I recently grabbed some divine kiwi berries, finished in a single day, and have dreamed of them since. For autumn, they offer an array of pumpkin varieties for 30 cents a pound which is the least I've seen anywhere, and much prettier than what you can find at a grocery store. They also had fall décor, including stunning glass gem corn. There is even a separate fresh cut flower stand! They accept cash, check or Venmo (the latter is such an appreciated option, yay!). They have some bags available, though you should bring your own if you can. Prices are generally less than the grocery store, and for much higher quality produce! There is a good amount of parking. They also offer a CSA.

Very nice local berry farm. I was in search of U-pick…read moreraspberries and came across South Barlow Berries Facebook page. They do a great job with their social media! We stopped in on a cloudy Saturday and ended up with soooo many berries! Bring your own picking containers. You can purchase small buckets that they have available in the shop for $4. Go into the shop first to have your own containers weighed. The weight is deducted from berry weight. Then off to pick! They have several varieties. We saw strawberries, marionberries, raspberries, & tayberries. Their signage also lists boysenberries but I didn't see those in the rows. They also offer blueberries but they're not U-pick. Their strawberries are June bearing and were already done by the time we made the trip over. We'll be back next year to get a bunch of those. *They have berries ready to buy in the shop too if you don't want to U-pick. I like this farm being very conveniently located, easy parking, and a very short walk to the fields. They have wagons if you need to haul containers, boxes, or any other items out to the field with you. The berries are VERY good and the entire field appears well maintained. They've become one of my favorite nearby berry farms. Stop in for a visit. It's a fun day for the whole family!

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what happened behind the scenes, but I think there's trouble…read morein river city. For years, West Linn has held a farmer's market on Wednesday evenings in the Old Willamette neighborhood. Locals stroll along Willamette Drive mixing and mingling in stores and market stalls, listening to live music and grabbing a bite to eat. It feels more like a neighborhood block party than a full blown farmer's market. For that I go to Lake Oswego, Milwaukie or Oregon City. This year a second market came to town. To make things really confusing, the Willamette Saturday Farmers Market took the URL of the West Linn Farmer's Market that still operates on Wednesdays and has a new website (http://westlinnfarmersmarket.org/). If the West Linn Farmer's Market is small, then the Willamette Saturday Farmers Market is tiny. At first I wasn't sure if it was even operating since there is no activity on the street. While there is a nice banner in front of the Historic Willamette General Store, you need to walk through the general store and the hardware store to the back courtyard to find the market. And I have trouble calling it a market since it is comprised of about three tables with a few folks selling limited produce and merchandise from 19th Street Farms, Ek Farms and other local businesses. The low rating is primarily due to the selection of produce and number of vendors in relation to other farmers markets in the area. I would actually characterize this more as a farm stand. Nothing against the vendors or the quality of the merchandise, it is just really hard to find and limited in scope. They are wrapping up for the season in October. It will be interesting to see if they expand operations next year. 2013 schedule: 11a-4pm starting in late May - October.

This family farm was a nice stop on our berry picking tour of Hubbard. While our first stop ended…read moreup being the best of the bunch, this farm specializes in marionberries (26 acres) with some organic blueberries (1-1/2 acres) on the side. My son is fixated on blueberries, so he happily sat on the grass and picked berries from the low hanging bushes while the rest of us focused on the marionberries. The highlight for my son is that the family that owns this farm are serious Oregon Ducks fans, so they get bonus points from him. Compared to other farms, the pickings were a little slim, but the folks are very nice.

There was only about 3 people already picking and while we were there probably only 10 other people came so there was plenty of space to pick with out people crowding you! There were 2 different kinds of blueberries although we only picked 1 kind, but gave a nice variety between sweet and tart. The owner was very nice and had buckets lined with bags all ready for us so we could just pick into the bucket and take out the bag when done and ready to take home. You also cannot beat the price at $1.75 a pound! I believe we looked at the organic farm in Portland and it was about $3.50 a pound and I am sure a lot more crowded. I am going to try and get back here again this year and definitely next year.

The best part about "Wednesdays in Willamette" is that it has a neighborhood street party vibe…read more Rather than stroll through the market and shop, it is integrated well with the shops and restaurants along Main Street so when the sun is shinning, the patios fill up and it is a fun place to hang. Changing the name from "farmer's market" to "street market" was a good one, since there really is a mix of vendors and it isn't dominated by produce. The challenging part about the market is that it feels a bit sparse compared to neighboring markets (Oregon City, Milwaukie, and Lake Oswego). It also snarls up traffic along Willamette Falls Drive on Wednesday evenings. The market has evolved over the past several years and they've tried different formats, including moving it to a different day of the week and a different venue. This is the back-where-it-all-started version of the market and I do like having a hump day event to look forward to in my 'hood during the summer. The market kicks off at 4:00p, but the beer/wine garden, hot food vendors (some booths, others are food carts), and live music start closer to 5:00p and wrap up at 8:00p. The best plan is to stop by one of the local restaurants for a HH cocktail early to get parking and grab a table then finish the evening with a stroll and some shopping. Pick up a fresh bouquet of flowers, farm fresh fruits and veggies, an ice cream from Scoop, or coffee from Transplant Coffee (serving Water Avenue coffee). The vendors may be limited, but they also have a nice selection. I am hoping that the market will continue to grow and thrive and add more vendors. They are doing a great job publicizing the market and including different special events (cake walk, rummage sale, etc.) and live music every week.
