As I mentioned in the last post, we have a few new vendors starting this week. Rick Steffen Farm, Fressen Artisan Bakery and K’s Creations. Rick Steffen Farm is in Silverton, OR. Rick grows a wide variety of flowers, fruits and vegetables. Rick will be bringing spinach, onions, shallots, a wide variety of peppers, potatoes, carrots, beets, radishes and turnips. He may have strawberries too. Look for a market morning photo post if he does. Fressen Bakery is an artisan German bakery. As you can see from the photo on the right, owner/baker Edgar Mullin Loesch makes a wide variety of German and Austrian breads and pastries. Finally, Kristine Karnezis of K’s Everlastings will coming to the market this week. Kristine grows flowers on Sauvie Island and will be selling her dried flower arrangements.
Other vendor news – Sulina and Bay’s Farm is finished for the season. They had a good year at Lloyd Market and are looking forward to next season. RedTree Organic Farm will likely be back next week. This Tuesday is the last market for Total Pig for about 8 weeks so you may want to stock up.
