It's the Little Things in Life that Matter!

Grants Pass Oregon Growers Market Today is a day that I look forward to with great anticipation each week... because today is the Grants Pass, Oregon Saturday Growers Market. I look forward to seeing my friends gathering at the Growers Market (practically the whole town comes out for it each week). And, of course the most important part, is finding an assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables to put in my wicker basket. But before I make the journey downtown (just behind the Grants Pass Post Office), I will stop by the local Dutch Bros coffee house in Grants Pass and enjoy a cup of my favorite Oregon coffee. They say it's the little things in life that matter, and I would have to agree.

The vegetables look so fresh and good. Being able to get produce that looks like that and getting to see your friends must make for a really good day.

I so agree about the little things matter - good cup of coffee, fresh vegies and fruits, small towns, people, farmers markets (we have several here in Phoenix too).j My favorite farmers market is up in Toronto - that is an amazing array of food and items.

Hello Melinda, Farmers markets a great diversion from the norm. I also like the little road side stands with the gentleman under a straw hat and weathered sun baked skin...the real salt of the earth types. There are a lot of little pleasures that get passed up in our fast paced lives.

Great post and I realize that I have been there. I drive down to California to visit family a few times each year. I found this little farmers market about two years ago. I love farmer's markets.

Nick ~ We need some diversions from this crazy mixed up market, huh!

Mark ~ Grants Pass, Oregon is a quaint little town right off of Interstate 5.
