Just in time for the holidays, the popular Moreland Farmers Market has scheduled a special market day. The First Annual Holiday Market will be held 25 November 2008, 1:00 to 5:00 pm, at the market's usual space, Bybee Boulevard at 14th Avenue SE.
Apples and cider -- and perhaps an apple pie?
You'll be able to take something home for dinner, find a special treat for turkey day, and grab some prepared food to put in the freezer. Many of our favorite vendors will be there with lots of winter produce. You'll find greens, winter squash, root vegetables, apples, pears, chestnuts, hazel nuts and more. Little Pots and Pans will offer their savory specialties. Finales Desserts will be on hand with their fabulous desserts and pies. Baird Family Orchards, as well as vendors with goat cheese, fresh eggs and chickens, goat and lamb will also be setting up their stands.
There will be lots of variety as you'll also find other cheeses, honey, specialty items and gifts for purchase. Mocha Mama will have her coffee van on site with coffee, tea, sandwiches and more good things to eat while you shop!
Attention seniors and persons with disabilities, Project Linkage will offer rides to Moreland Farmers Market's holiday market. Service is scheduled to and from Sellwood Landing, Sellwood Center, Kenilworth Plaza, Westmoreland Union Manor and Sacred Heart Villa. For schedule and reservation information please call Project Linkage at 503-249-0471 or 503-341-9350. Seniors and persons with disabilities who cannot get to these locations may also call for service to the market.
A special event will help others. A fresh produce food drive is planned to benefit FISH Emergency Service. FISH distributes to residents of N, NE and SE Portland and feeds about 1700 people each month. Children are one third of the recipients! Anyone who donates $5.00 or more will be entered in a drawing to win a New Seasons gift basket. Many thanks to New Seasons for their support! The winner's gift basket will be delivered the Monday after the holiday.
Music, Music, Music! As always there will be live music for your enjoyment.
Market tokens and Oregon Trail tokens can be purchased at the information booth and used at the market or given as holiday gifts for use at the Moreland Market next season.
I'll be at the Information Booth from 3:00 to 5:00 pm, stop by and say hi.
REMEMBER - parking is available at 14th Avenue and Glenwood, across the street from the market.

Hi Alexsandra! If I lived in your area I would for sure drop by and say "Hi"! I love farmer's markets because you can get the "real" organic fruit and vegetables there. Have fun!
