The 2010 Governor’s State Employees Food Drive begins runs the entire month of February (link). The market is working with employees in the Oregon WIC program in the campaign. There will be a table where the employees will be selling a few items and accepting donations of cash and food. The market will be making a donation that day and will donate a basket of market goodies (including market gift certificates) with the proceeds going to the campaign. Stop by and help out on February 16th. Bring your friends too.
What’s available this week? Spinach, kale, collards and arugula will be the predominant greens this week. Swiss chard and salad mixes should be available in small quantities.

You will also find a nice selection of apples, pears and asian pears plus hazelnuts and chestnuts.
