Oregon Saturday Market

^{Saturday Market in Eugene, Oregon – The Environmental Blog}

It’s that time again for Saturday Market in Oregon folks. Oregon is quite known for their lively Saturday Market’s which are full of local culture, hand-made crafts, and farmers. Remember that supporting your local farmers stimulates the local economy. Purchasing food that is not shipped from hundreds or thousands of miles away helps prevent air emissions and also helps promote the local economy. Buying local literally saves the environment from needless air pollution caused by transportation from cars, trucks, ships, and jets. Don’t forget to bring your re-usable bag to the market…and sometimes free recipes are available to help you make a great dish from the produce that is currently in season. It also never hurts to just ask someone about ideas for in season produce recipes.

Oregon Saturday Market is like a breath of fresh air, not only because of the lively atmosphere, but because of the vibrancy surrounding hard working local artisans, growers, and craftsman.

The sun was shining for part of the day today as it marked the beginning of the Saturday Market season despite the weather man’s grim forecast of rain, rain, rain. We always love it when he’s wrong…heh. Oregon Saturday market is a tradition that some Oregonian’s take for granted…but if it isn’t one yet, give it a try =)
