There are farmer's markets in Portland that run all year around, thanks to the relatively mild weather. But it has been rainy and wet the past few weekends. Today's the first time we see blue sky and blinding sun light. We took the street car down to PSU farmer's market to check it out. This is the first farmer market I have visited in Portland. It's much bigger than anything I've seen in Chicago. It's got everything, fresh farm greens, produce and fruits, meats and fish, lots of cheese, honey, lots of bakery vendors. There are also quite a lot of food vendors selling freshly prepared lunch fair.
We walked by a crepe place "C'est Si Bon", and thought of our friends back in Chicago who make fabulous crepes. So here are a few photos for you, Mandy and Marko and little Petra. Hope you're doing well.

Pine State Biscuits has a booth here too. I guess they started their business at farmer's markets. For people outside of Portland, this is a place that serves nothing but darn good biscuits. They would top them with gravy, serve them with eggs, buttermilk fried chicken, sausage and bacon. They were out of friend chicken and eggs when we got there. We bought a plain biscuit to go instead. It's warm, light and buttery. We have to make it to their restaurant one of these days, which I heard it's always packed.
