Welcome Back Farmers' Markets!

After months of being forced to shop at the grocery store, the Southern Oregon growers' markets are returning to bring back pleasure in shopping and planning for weekly meals!

There are always a great selection of local fruits, vegetables, cheeses and baked goods to pair with your favorite Southern Oregon wines. I am hoping the garlic guru will be back at the Grants Pass Saturday Farmers' Market this year. He had over 15 varieties of garlic!

Artisans and musicians are abundant as well. Last year at the same market I bought a t-shirt from Elemental Designs and got a free CD. Its folky tunes have become my summer soundtrack (The Sleeping Owl by Itchy Itchy Ickabod).

Of course Chris likes to go so he has an excuse to eat pulled pork sandwiches at 9:00 a.m. :)
