TO BE CLEAR, THIS REVIEW IS ABOUT MOTHER'S DAY BRUNCH- My family and I went to Mother's Day brunch…read morefor the first time. I'll start with the pros: The scenery and views are beautiful. The music stage and grassy area looked lovely. The cons: The food was just ok. It was ala carte, pricey and you had to order it at the counter and then pick it up and take it to your table, also bus your table when finished. So basically they had no host, server and one guy bussing if he had to. We had to find where our reserved table was ourselves. The tables and chairs were plastic with no table cloth so it felt undressed and unthoughtful. We had to search for salt and pepper on other tables and every table didn't have them. We asked for ketchup and the guy said he would look for some when he wasn't busy. He did finally slap a big bottle down on the table well after we were finished. Normally on any other day, I wouldn't have a problem serving myself but it was Mother's Day. I did not want to do all that. I hope for them in the future, they make the Mother's Day Brunch better staffed and thoughtful for the mothers and families who come. Perhaps, instead of their usual food service style, they could alter it to make it feel less self service on Mother's Day. We gave it a try and we won't be going back for Mother's Day.

I really don't even have any little complaints, except that I can't just check out of my busy life and stay there. Can heartily recommend and will certainly return myself - can't wait.

Produce! Cheeeeses! Wax Skulls! Wax Skulls?!? Yep. Wax Skulls!…read more SITREP Should you find yourself in Medford, OR on a Thursday morning, DEFINITELY head on over to the Medford Armory, where - in the Armory's parking lot - you will find the Rogue Valley Growers & Crafters Market ("Rogue Market")! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=JZqbYnqxY1QMX_2gxbEpLA THE SETUP Like most Farmer's markets, Rogue Market has a lot of great produce - even floral - options, that are all spread out in nice spacious, roomy booths, with ample room between them so that people can stop, chat, compare items with each other, etc.: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=FTCIRkoEOfgnTes8qxp2KQ MARKET POPULARITY - BASED ON GREAT DISCOUNTS And where many markets I hit down here in California pay "lip service" to providing discounts from the main grocery store chains, Rogue Market actually has some pretty profound steals, such as these raspberries: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=MOEIewyb2w2KdoOszwzp8w My lovely hostess, Yelper GoGo M., took me around the market with her and I could see the low cost of many vegetables (onions, cucumbers, etc.) and fruit (melons, watermelons, berries, etc.) compared to what we saw in a couple of cursory trips to the local food chains. CHEEEEEESE! I was surprised to see SEVERAL cheese vendors on hand, hocking their tasty cheese wares! Usually at the Sacramento markets I hit in the Downtown grid, we are lucky to have just one. The cheeses were varied - from soft to hard, goat to cow - they were all over the board, with artisan quality: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=9TuPNBKt0eo_ZBGpLdoYBA And the vendors eager for us to try their samples - and to good effect: we bought several varieties. HOT FOOD VENDORS & FOOD TRUCK VENDORS Many of the produce sellers also provide some great hot food options. We enjoyed several vegetable & cheese "turnover" pockets that were absolutely delish, with options ranging from Mushroom or Southwestern, etc.: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=MOEIewyb2w2KdoOszwzp8w And yep - the Food Truck mania has reached Southern Oregon, including this one tasty Peruvian vendor with some great Spanish options. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=vsGAG6zJk2tBuwZljvUytw CRAFTS! But where Rogue Market really stands out from most standard farmer's markets is in it's craftwares. I DO have to give props to the Saturday morning Midtown Market in Sacramento, because that one comes closest to what I experienced here in Medford. In both scenarios, there are many different craftsman that have some exceptional quality products. THE BEES KNEES! One vendor that grabbed my eye was the gentlemen selling delicate wax figurines. They were pretty spectacular! My favorite would have to be the skulls, and there were several varieties of those: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=iMNspK2KwpIxAS6hNIlc5g THE LOWDOWN Rogue Market is a great stop on a Thursday morning when prowling about Medford, OR.

Another Fantastic experience @ Phoenix Farmers Market in Phoenix, OR. !!…read more I used to frequent this gem of a place quite often and I'm glad to return! They make the best homemade salsa and soup in the surrounding area!! It's worth the drive and not too far out of the way. Forewarning, the salsa is on the sweeter side, per se, and I usually get 'medium' but they also have 'hot'. I've never had anything like it, it's sooo good. They have just about anything you'd want from a farmers market and my pictures don't really do it justice. And guess what, they're open 6 days a week!! The owner still makes her mouth-watering assortment of soups, but now-a-days instead of having them steaming hot in crock pots for patrons to scoop their desired amount, they are prepackaged and frozen for all to enjoy when it suits them. She says they are even more popular than before. It looks like the same modest place as before, very inviting, and well stocked. I'm thankful we have places like this around! If you haven't been here, check it out, you're welcome, lol.
