Small Farmer's Market that has everything you need! I've been going for 18 years and even though I now live in SW close to the Portland Farmers Market by PSU, I still go to Hollywood every Saturday after the gym.
While leisurely strolling and tasting you way through a market is a fun way to spend a Saturday morning, sometimes you just don't have that kind of time. Unlike the larger markets that feel more like an "event," I can walk through the Hollywood market with purpose, get my fruits, veggies and a tasty carb or two, and be on my way in 20 minutes.
From the Hood River Strawberries that arrive for just two weeks in June, through berries of every kind, cherries of many varieties, peaches, plums, artichokes, Romano beans, tomatoes, peppers, apples, pears and everything in between, they have all the fruits and veggies in season.
- My favorite "Sugar Snap Pea" lady is here year after year with sugar snap peas that are larger and sweeter than any I have ever tasted. Anywhere. I look forward to her bounty every year!
- Tabor Bread has a booth here - everything is out of this world amazing. Fig/walnut swirl bread. Salted buckwheat chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate chocolate chip rye cookies - killer. Old fashioned breads with toothy grains and chewy texture. Amazing.
- Love the new addition of the fresh ramen booth with a variety of sauces so you can have a fast, delicious meal in minutes.
- The homemade tamales are spectacular. Bring them home for dinner, your family will thank you.
