New Vendors: Summer Market 2015
While we are always excited about the opening of the summer market, this year there's a lot to be excited about. We are adding a wonderful array of new vendors this season, and there's a little something for everyone. There's 3 new ready-to-eat food vendors, a couple of new bakeries, as well as new farms, chocolatiers, cheesemakerts, and more. See below for a full list of new vendors, as well as information on their products and practices.

The Earth That Gives
We are a Certified Naturally Grown Produce farm located in the Park Place neighborhood in Oregon City. We are new to the area and this is our first year of operation. What we are striving to do is become part of our community by supplying it with fresh produce grown right in the center of the community. The great thing about our produce is you know that it comes from your town and didn't take a nice long truck ride to get to you. Our produce goes from our dirt to your hands in less than 24 hours. Produce is not all we supply. We make jams, pickled and canned vegetables, salsa, and bread out of various things grown on our farm like pumpkins, squash, and cucumbers. We are a small farm with much room to grow in many ways, but most of all we wish to grow into our community.
