It is here! Opening day of the Camas Farmer’s Market is tomorrow – Wednesday, May 27th, from 3:00pm to 7:00pm, in front of the Camas Public Library, on Fourth Avenue between NE Everett and NE Franklin.
Beautiful weather, a street filled with farmers/vendors, live music, kid’s activities and our chef connection starting at 4:00pm await you. The first week of market will bring plenty of starts and herbs for your garden. Produce may be light this week, but as the season continues the abundance of fruits and vegetables will grow. Come early, at 3:00pm, so you don’t miss out on the strawberries, rhubarb, eggs, lamb, hazelnuts and breads!
Kid’s Activity – Your kids will plant some seeds in an egg carton to take home and transplant in the garden. Urban Farm School will be available to answer your gardening questions!
Chef Connection – It is sure to delight!
