Food PFM Says Keep Portland('s Food) Colorful
Posted by Clare Gordon on Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 8:59 AM
Hey Blogtown—if you haven't been haggling for your vitamins with veggie vendors at any of the several farmer's markets present on any given day of the week, here's a little of what you're missing. Berry season is waning but still present, peaches are getting better every day, and these colorful gems have popped up over the past week or two and make local and healthy choices easy—and gorgeous. Go support your local farmers. We're ridiculously lucky and relatively unique in having a community that makes produce like this available to us all summer.
