The prices were very fair, especially considering the high quality of everything. We tried a few different things, but the brisket breakfast sandwich was absolutely next-level--tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of indulgent. We're still thinking about it! Everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly and kind--several vendors even offered water for our puppy, which was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel even more at home. If you're in Hood River on a market day, don't miss this! Great food, great people, and an awesome way to support local.

I have visited Kiyokawa at farmers markets before (they're at 13 of them!), but this month was the…read morefirst time I went out to their farm in Parkdale, OR. This is a third generation farm - their grandparents immigrated from Japan in the early 1900s. It's almost 300 acres and they've got apples, pears, peaches, cherries, berries, and probably more. The farmstand is open July through November. They've got a pick your own/U-pick options. They specialize in growing over 150 different varieties of apples, pears, cherries, and stone fruit. Their website is pretty up-to-date on which fruit are available at any given time. I really enjoyed stopping into the marketplace for a wide selection of pre-picked fruits, some of which had samples available. They were priced by weight and I was very pleased with the cost in the end ($12 for so many apples!).

The woman answering the phone, Jean, doesn't even live in Oregon, couldn't answer half of my questions without making other calls, and then never called me back. Also, the info she gave contradicted the website's info. So, now I have no idea if she is wrong or the website is and there's no way to confirm without driving 2 hours all the way up there and seeing for myself because she's the only one answering the phone. Between this and hearing how drastically they have increased their prices recently, there is absolutely no reason to drive all the way out there. Lots of good orchards closer in that actually answer their phone FROM THEIR LOCATION and will tell you exactly what is available and when. Skip this place if you have self-respect and a life.

The setting is so quaint with the farm stand right next to the orchard. Huge crates of ripe and almost ripe apples and pears. I bought several of 3 varieties of apples and a few pears and it came to $2.25. Truly! At a different fruit stand, one apple or pear was $1.50. They take credit cards but I always bring cash which I know they appreciate. Natalie is one of the owners and she is delightful. Located a few minutes off OR-35, definitely visit while out doing the Fruit Loop or wine and cider tasting. Plenty of parking in their lot.

In the late summer, early fall the fruit and produce is abundant! Juicy peaches, plums, cherries, the last of the blueberries and blackberries, rhubarb, eggplant, tricolored peppers, and beets fill the stalls. everything so colorful and delicious. Was excited to happen upon the Catnip Takeout booth filled with the most adorable handmade, felted cat toys that of course contain catnip. The owner gives you a takeout box and you fill it with the toys of your choice. She had veggies, mushrooms, hearts, eyeballs, bees, round balls, fruit- all adorable! since my house is very spa like with shades of cream, gray and blues, I was excited to find so many options in these colors. My cat immediately began batting the ball around the minute I gave it to her! The nursery here is the biggest and best I've ever seen at a Farmers Market. The variety of plants was impressive and all were healthy and thriving. they also sell sun catchers, perfect for inside a window or in your garden - every garden deserves a bit of whimsy imo. Lots of food carts serving a variety of cuisines. some are within the market, several more line the street on the outside of the market. The gyros caught my attention, the scent of grilled lamb everywhere. it didn't disappoint! I ordered the mega traditional which had extra meat so I could have half for lunch and the other half for dinner. Love that this market is open both Saturday and Sundays until 3pm April through October. Saturday they open at 9am; on Sundays they open at 10am. Parking is on the street, use parking kitty to pay. On a Sunday at 12:30 I had no issue finding a spot close by.

There are fresh fruits and vegetables; honey; smoked fish, and prepared foods not on a truck. Plus there are food trucks. There are rows of arts and crafts. Candles, clothes, and other household items can be found; I even saw knife sharpening. Basically, you could skip the grocery store and Home Depot and just shop local artisans. The highlight was fresh heirloom tomatoes that looked incredibly tasty, They oozed freshness and flavor. Since we are in a hotel, we did not buy any but they looked like they would be an excellent salad. Everyone (vendors) were friendly and seemed to know their repeat customers. Market-goers (customers) were having a good time. There is an area for kids go play. The ambiance is laid back and family friendly. We'll be back in Vancouver and plan to return again. It's a great way to spend some quality time with the family in gorgeous summer weather.

We just came here for a hosted Easter Egg Hunt last week and they create a safe and fun environment for the local families! Thank you for being our neighborhood farm!

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.

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).

We stopped in and immediately were greeted by a friendly teenager who offered us slices from their freshly picked peaches. Sublime. There were a lot of peaches and cherries to choose as well as soap, homemade crafts, used books (all sales are donated to the local animal shelter - bonus!), honey sticks, honey in the bear, clothes and lots of other treasures. One of the owners, Lisa, was there and we engaged in a lively conversation. It was a great time. And I gladly spent at Cody Orchards because I believe supporting local businesses is what makes Oregon great. Sure, you can go to Fred Meyer and buy a peach but you have no idea if it came from Mexico, California or Ecuador. Buy directly from a local orchard or farm and you KNOW it's locally grown. No brainer. Visit them this summer and enjoy knowing your dollars feed local economy while you feed your body healthy and sustainable fruit. You'll be glad you did.
