🍐 PSU Farmers Market Year-Round Saturdays from 9am-2pm at SW Park and Montgomery

This Saturday, @riseupremedies will be at the PSU

This Saturday, @riseupremedies will be at the PSU Farmers Market with their dried herbs, tinctures, and more to nourish your body and soul through these dreary winter months. Rise Up Remedies grows over 50 herb varieties, including many perennial plants which allows farmers Laura and Lizzy to reduce inputs on their farm such as using less water and tilling less frequently.

Did you know? Rise Up Remedies is part of the @emswcd Headwaters Farm Incubator Program!

➡️ The Headwaters Farm is located just outside of Portland, and serves as a launchpad for farm businesses by providing resources to help farmers overcome barriers they may have, including access to farmland, equipment, infrastructure, peer support systems and farm networks, and/or agricultural training.

🔸 Each year at our PSU Farmers Market, we provide space for participants of the Headwaters Farm Incubator Program to sell their products, and this past season we welcomed @lacewingpdx.

🔸 Many of the farmers at our markets are graduates of Headwaters Farm Incubator Program, including @gentlerainfarm (PSU), Glasrai Farm (PSU), Happy Moment Farm (Lents) and Stadnikov Farm (Kenton and Lents).

Thank you to Laura Bennet, @slinginveg for this great post about growing veggies in the winter!

Here we are deep in winter, and there are still so many fresh veggies at market to enjoy! We live in a climate where farmers are able to grow food all year long! If you’ve yet to befriend celeriac or sunchokes, or have yet to fall in love with sweet winter kales and chicories, let this winter sweep you off your feet! 💞🥬💞
•
While some crops wilt after the first hard frost, others thrive in freezing temperatures. Just like the popsicle in your freezer won’t be as solid as the ice cubes, winter greens keep their cells from freezing by producing sugars, making them a seasonal treat to be enjoyed while in their prime!
•
Farmers use a variety of techniques to keep us fed year-round, including outdoor plantings of winter warriors like radicchio, indoor plantings of more delicate greens, and storage crops that can be harvested in the fall and enjoyed for months.
•
@eloisaorganicfarm, for example, grows bok choy, delicate mustard greens, and watercress inside hoop houses during the winter, such fresh crisp treats that help us cut through rich squash and roots. Others like @gatheringtogetherfarm have developed root storage systems. It is difficult to access wet winter fields without compacting the soil. So they harvest their roots and store them muddy in bins. The mud acts as a preservative, and they wash what they need a week at a time.
•
So whether you cozy up to a simple breakfast root hash, a bowl of hot broth with braised bok choy, or you toss together a gorgeous chicory salad full of pears, chèvre, and hazelnuts, take some time this winter and explore the bounty our local farmers provide 🥕
•
And as always, gratitude goes good with food. A big round of applause to all the farmers out there keeping us fed, in their muddy boots and rain gear, with frozen fingers and toes. Thank you 💚
