Four More Weeks to Go - Don't Miss it!

Winter Squash, Gourds and Pumpkins are Here!

Saturday, October 4th is the last of the Red Tractor Days this season. This Saturday we will be welcoming chef and restauranteur Paul Hyman once again for a chef's demo at 11:00am. If you haven't tried his new restaurant, Oregon City Grille, you might stop by there one lunchtime or evening. The restaurant features locally sourced seasonal produce from many of the same suppliers who have been at the market all season. Remember that every dollar you spend on locally sourced produce, meat and fish is an investment you make in your community. October is Eat Local Month - so see how much of your weekly food budget you can can reinvest into your community.

If you have an avid market-goer on your holiday gift list this might be something he or she would appreciate. Other great holiday or hospitality gift ideas at OCFM include birdhouses and feeders, soaps and lotions, preserves and treats for the four-legged canine member of your household.

During this season, Oregon City Farmers' Market attractions included:

• Red Tractor Day on the first Saturday of every month
• Chef Demos and a Community Health and Wellness Fair in September
• OSU Master Gardeners "grow your own" workshops
