Getting the Most Out of Farmers Market Season
Did you know we have nearly 40 farmers markets in the Portland area every week? But where are they? Which are the best for what? And what are the unspoken rules you might be breaking? Today on City Cast Portland, we’re revisiting a conversation host Claudia Meza had with Molly Notarianni — our executive producer John Notarianni’s big sister. As the former executive director of the Oregon Farmers Market Fund, she’s been in the farm-to-market business for nearly 20 years.
