I started looking for good, fresh milk as I was a mother of a 2 month old and was unable to fully breastfeed my infant and did not want to use regular infant formula... I phoned Lysa and Jeff and they asked me to come out to their farm and taste their milk and the quality that they offered. They explained the process in what they do to provide the quality and purity of their milk. I choose to use Hope Springs' milk for my infant formula (through Weston A. Price) for my daughter and she is now 10.5 months old and is growing perfectly to her Dr's happy smile every time I go in to see him. Thank you so much for providing REAL whole milk with all the cream on top and glass bottles for the consistent purity and integrity of the milk... It also allows me to scoop off the cream super easily!!

We will forever and always be loyal patrons of TVM.

I don't live in the area, so I'm not sure how their prices compared to averages for Bend, but coming from Alaska, the prices were really good.

We heard about Volcano Veggies and decided to give them a try. Ordering online is very easy. You can pick from a weekly assortment of veggies and fruits all which are very fresh and locally grown. We joined their Fresh Club which gives you the options for meats and cheeses from local farms. We have had 3-4 deliveries not and have not been disappointed. They let us know when they will be arriving and the bags neatly organized and left on the porch. The micro greens are particularly fantastic. I can't recommend them enough. If you are looking to support local and don't want to head to the market give them a try. Thanks VV!

Dinner with a friend at Boken (shameless plug for that good place…read morehttp://www.yelp.com/biz/boken-bend#hrid:5GYsTuHhgi0gn9J-uJt0Ng ) on Thursday night led to a bounty of tomatoes for my kitchen on Friday afternoon to enjoy for dinner on Friday night. Everything is connected to everything else. In this case, eating good food at Boken made my friend remember to mention the yummy tomatoes she purchased at the previous week's Friday market held in the St. Charles Medical Center (SCMC) Parking lot.. "You need to try these tomatoes" she said. If you live in Central Oregon, you know how rare are good tomatoes here. In particular if, like me, you've lived in some wicked good tomato growing places before such as New Jersey (seriously...the best tomatoes) and the SF Bay area. A recommendation for good tomatoes in Bend is worth following up. So on Friday I went to the SCMC market to find the them. The first thing I noted is these smelled like great tomatoes. You know what I mean. As I picked up and picked out my New Girl, Big Beef, Big Dina and cherry tomato selections, my hands smelled like fresh tomatoes too. Ahhhhh! Hubby and I had a tomato sampler for dinner to go along with wonderful spicy lettuce greens mix from Rainshadow Organics farm (also at the market) and a cheese baguette from Village Baker (also at the market). Along with a nice glass (or two) of Chehalem winery's most recent Inox release, it was a fantabulous Oregon locavore foods dinner with tomatoes at the center. The remaining tomatoes perfume my kitchen this morning as they wait to be our dinner tonight. I emailed my friend to thank her for the heads up. Now I've used Yelp to recommend Victoria's Vegetables tomatoes to Yeeps and other Peeps. If you try the tomatoes, I think you'll want to thank my friend too. NOTES: 1 ) A key reason good tomatoes are rare here is Central Oregon's growing season is short (really only a couple of months), the elevation is high, the rainfall is little (under 12" year) and the soil is not great for growing things other than Juniper. Victoria's Vegetables uses the Mittleider Method to grown theirs. Neutral soil and vertical growing are part of that mix. The owners like to share about the method and if you contact them you can also tour the greenhouses. 2) Victoria's Vegetables are at both the SCMC market on Fridays (2 - 6) and the downtown Mirror Pond Plaza market on Wednesdays (3-7). Maybe at the Saturday NW Crossing market too (10 - ?) which starts in late June.
