"I found the farmers market to be inherently community-centric: local farmers sell produce and meats they raised nearby, community members make food and art to sell, and neighbors develop relationships with vendors, returning week after week to buy from the people who grew, raised, or made the goods. It was at the Beaverton Farmers Market that Aaron and Natalie Truong got their start making and selling pizzas, building the following that helped propel them to open their brick-and-mortar pizzeria." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
