If you value knowing where your food comes from, this place is for you! The cutest market with…read morelocal fresh produce in Helvetia! I've been coming here for several years and can confirm everything rotates seasonally, you'll get fresh vegetables like lettuce, cucumber, microgreens, etc seasonally in summer whereas in fall you'll get more root vegetables and plenty of fall pumpkins and gourds to choose from! I was bummed they were out of cucumbers when I visited, but I gathered from a neighboring farm that cucumbers have had a tough season. I was greeted multiple times by their friendly staff and had a great conversation with the woman who helped me at the register. Can't wait to enjoy the lettuce (I'm just saying, with everything going on, this is the spot to buy your lettuce lately!). The cherry tomatoes I selected were the perfect level of firm - the kind that pops in your mouth when you bite them, not too squishy! The peach I selected was SO juicy! Just confirms I need to go pick at Grossen Peaches ASAP!

To begin, the market itself is has a charming ambiance and a beautiful back patio for nice sunny…read moredays. I just wish this market was more of an actual legit market and less tourist gift shop vibe. On to the details of my visit: I'd been looking forward to a solid local market and this one had been on my radar for a while. Unfortunately this wasn't it. It felt more like a typical Oregon roadside tourist trap with the standard "Made in Oregon" stale chocolates, granola, sweets, etc. The produce sections was relatively tiny and only about half of it looked really good. The frozen meat sections was almost entirely out of red meat, there was a tiny amount of fish and then frozen chicken too. However, the prices are tourist gift shop too. Think $10/lb for asparagus, $18/lb for chicken thighs, $10 for a dozen chicken eggs, $14/lb for ground beef, etc. I eventually just looked through their baked goods and noted the bread was date stamped that it was baked 2 days prior and priced at for a $14 loaf of sourdough. My favorite Portland bakeries all offer freshly baked (as in that same day) sourdough and other loaves for $9-$12. Anyhow, I ended up choosing some local brownies and which looked good but ended up being chalky, dry and clearly several days old. I'd love to see a larger selection of prepared foods to enjoy on the pretty back patio too. They just had a bunch of those pre-packaged sandos & wraps like one finds in an airport. Why not add a little pizza oven and or grill for weekends? Anyhow, there's much potential with such a pretty place like this one but it isnt quite there enough for me to make the 30min drive from Portland again.

TL/DNR, not a great outcome…read more Walmart and I, well we have history. In the very far past I shopped there when there were limited shopping choices ( Lake Havasu, Yuma, and Eugene when I was super dang poor). Since I moved to Portland and observed their shady business practices I have chosen to shop elsewhere and frankly not missed it. I think in the 20 years I have lived here we went once to the store on 82nd. Recently I have tried several online ( because Covid plus big illness means limiting my exposure to the masses) shopping experiences with varying results. Fred Meyer's software is a hot mess. The same can be said for New Season's which kept emptying my stinkin' cart. Whole Foods is just damn expensive. Safeway cancelled my order and didn't tell me until I showed up. QFC is okay for pickup but lacks some items and is also a little spendy. Amazon has been swamped and delivery can be days out at times. So I painfully swallowed my disdain and political correctness and ordered online pickup with Walmart. The Cornell store is the closest to me so I chose that one only to see at the end I was picking up from the Shaleen store. Ok. Yay. I don't like that they make you notify them in the app when you are leaving and track you on GPS. Feels intrusive. Also now I cannot get the app to stop its stupid notifications and am greeted by a new one pretty much every time I pick up my phone. I cannot figure out how to turn them off nor could my tech savvy teen. I am gonna ditch the app. Anyway. They had a decent selection of choices. Only did two substitutions. They had ditalini pasta ( I put it in soup often) which is hard to find sometimes. We got four boxes and they did not limit us like Amazon did. We arrived at the store during our pickup window. The employees were masked and gloved, and the groceries were soon being loaded into the back of my Matrix. But loose. Not in bags. No bags?! I am pretty sure I checked the" I will pay for bags " box in the grocery order. I could see loose yogurt, bananas, etc. being put in our hatchback and was going to say something but my anxious teen who has had hard jobs working with terrible customers stopped me, " Mom don't" so we went home listening to rattles and clanking ( so annoying) and loaded the stuff into our own bags in our driveway. I think I can say that was a one off experiment. I am actually not that upset about it. I will admit I didn't want to like Walmart. I will figure out an alternate plan. Walmart is DEFINITELY cheaper. So points for that. That is how they kill the competition, right? I didn't buy any of their branded stuff. They were out of 1% organic milk which is our jam. And some things were not awesome. The avocados labelled large were teeeeeeny and not great. All in all an experiment that was not 100% successful. If you try it double or triple check the whole bag thing.

Once in a great while I will order online for a grocery order pick up. This is super convenient the…read moredays I'm super busy and don't have time to shop for odds and ends. I needed some game day snacks and some things that inky Walmart carries. They make the ordering and pick up process super easy and convenient.
