Howdee all,
I interrupt the Teton series to bring you my Favorite Saturday market..
Eugene Saturday Market
Yesterday Jeff and I went to the Market…it has been three years.
I love this market.
There is an Entertainment stage…
Fast
Food booths…with Tofu…and other healthy treats
They use stainless utensils at all the food vendors..no plastic utensils here. After you use the utensil you bring it to the bins…where they go back and are washed.
The food is all amazing…Truly!
A view from the seating area toward the performance tent..Great entertainment! 
A photo taken of the artist vendors across the street…great stuff!
And my favorite Farmers market
This vendor Roasts peppers as you wait.
Organic Everywhere…below..some Chanterelle mushrooms for sale in the white bin. Lovely displays of produce
I want to buy it all!
I do bring home some berries
Can you say Organic! Small farms..
And in a area across the street… this wonderful drumming…and Did I say Hippies…well yep..
Eugene has a lost hippie colony….I love them….some sell their hippie wares…
All of us had a great time!
Next post..
Back to the Tetons……
I love the Eugene Sat Market. There's a little bit of everything, including the want-to-be hippies. How fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great spot! I'm so glad you took time to show this place. I'd go nuts there! Is it open year-round?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great model for other cities.
All these food pictures are making me hungry!
ReplyDeletethat fresh produce was as lovely and colorful as the most beautiful bouquet of flowers. I knew I would love this blog. Thanks noblin hob goblin.
ReplyDeleteFree competition time again, those wonderful people at blurb have given me 3 voucher worth £30 each to give away, to help promote their latest book competition in which you could win $3,000. The book competition ends on the 22/10 so to give the winners of the vouchers time to do their books this give away ends on Friday 9th.

Why have I chosen those categories well they just happen to be the themes of the books for Blurbs competition, Pets, Travel or Families, so get your thinking caps on as this competition for the £30 vouchers ends Friday.

Wow hopefully that will be there next year when we visit. I loved it and looks like it has so many great things to buy. I had to go read all your last post because I've been in the deep woods and had not outside connection... Come on over and see my mushrooms... Ever since you turned me on to them I notice them everywhere... LOL

I spent a week in Eugene in the early 1990s and would love to go back one of these days. What a great city! The Eugene Saturday Market looks so lively and fun (the veggies look incredible!).
ReplyDeleteLooks like a place I would enjoy! Will have to make a point to check it out when we are in that area.
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots of fun and very colorful photos.That's great that they use metal instead of plastic-every little bit helps.
