I happened upon Ben's while looking for a place to buy some locally raised flowers on the way to…read morevisit my mother. After seeing a sign on the main road, I followed it to a lighted reader board out in front of an immaculate home and farm, about a quarter mile west of Highway 47. I was right away struck by how pretty and well-maintained the grounds and stand area were. The proprietors and 2 friendly dogs greeted me. My sunflowers were personally cut from a large garden near the stand, while I browsed for corn and cucumbers that looked too delicious to pass up. It was a very hot day, and she took extra care to choose individual flowers that would last a while in the weather. The price was extremely reasonable, 6 stems for $2.50. Their website notes that the young brother and sister owners are 4th generation farmers of the land, descended from the orignal Dutch farming community of Verboort. Neat! They grow heirloom seeds, tomatoes, corn, pumpkins, peppers, string beans, onions, carrots, gourds and squash, in addition to cukes, corn and fantastic sunflowers. Ben's is open during August, September and October from noon to dusk (sixish), and, if they happen not to be there, a sign on the counter says they offer self service on the honor system. A nice touch--this does not happen in Portland! I've already recommended Ben's to a couple of people in Forest Grove. I'm happy to support this sustainable, community-oriented business and will make a point to go back whenever I'm in the area.

This farmers market is a little less hectic I'd say, and I dig it!…read more Nestled in a square parking lot, next to a few small businesses and a New Seasons, is the Orenco Farmers Market. Many times I've seen it and many times I've avoided it. But now I regret not checking it out the first time they opened up a few years ago. Here's a few tips and details: * Parking * Most folks park in the New Seasons parking lot, or down the residential streets. The times I've been here, the lot has never been full. So I've never had any issue finding parking. * Favorite Vendors * ~ The Pie Guy - out of North Plains. If you yelp that, you'll see why he's different. Love their variety of pies. ~ Pilgrim's Roasted Nut'z - Another North Plains favorite! You can literally go nuts buying more than one bag. ~ Kookido - UGH, mochi-filled cookies! I'm a mochi lover and chewy soft cookie kind of guy. These are heaven in a container! ~ Pablo Munoz Fruits - I'm all about their peaches and berries! ~ Martinez Family Farms - Come here early for these guys. They always have a long line to pay. ~ Favorite Produce - I dig their fresh flower bouquets. ~ Helvetia Vineyards & Winery - Another local wine favorite. Try a sample! ~ Baird Family Orchards - mmm mmm, gotta love them peaches! Especially their Sweet Sue yellow peaches. ~ Our Little Farm and Nursery - Haven't bought anything from these guys, but they're the ones that freshly roast peppers. People love'em! ~ Slow Rise Bakehouse - Located out of Forest Grove. Check out my ROTD for them ;) ~ Thompson Farms - The "pear guy"! He's picking bosc pears soon. I cannot wait! ~ Papa's Sunflower Seeds - Flavored roasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds. These are the guys that do team fundraising. ~ Ochoas Catering & Events - Necessito burrito! They wrap up fat burritos (and more) and their salsas are simply el mejor! For the most part, if it's a hot summer day, the market can close a bit early due to excessive heat. I've yet to go here on a rainy day. But in closing for my next visit, I'm trying the pasta lady, the hot sauce guy, and the fresh mini donuts. Oh and the mouthful momo stand. Support your locals folks!

I absolutely love visiting Orenco Station - Hillsboro market for the first time last weekend. From…read morethe moment you step foot into the market, you're greeted with the vibrant colors of fresh produce, hand-craft goods, yummy food, and more! It's a good opportunity to support local and small. Parking wasn't an issue as there is desinated parking areas in apartment lots in front of the market. My favorite part was the local food vendors! We grabbed momos (delicious), tacos (best tacos in Oregon in my opinion), and hummus. HIGHLIGHT OF MY WEEKEND! S/O to Ochoa Catering and Events and Hummus Spot for putting my partner and I in our taco and hummus era. The service from these vendors were great and it was fun chatting about how their business started. Orenco Station - Hillsboro market is laid back and a good break from the hustle and bustle of city life. We will be back!

After finishing my work at the library, i figured I would take in some culture. I dropped off my…read morenotebook at my car and went over to the festivities at the Market. I really wish my dad was there with me...the band was playing all his favorites...Dylan, James Taylor, Carole King, etc. it felt like he was with me. It was raining a little bit, but hey, it's Portland. I came prepared with a windbreaker. It wasn't that bad though. I walked throughout the Market and looked at the offerings. There was a lot of 3-d printed items and crocheted items. Unfortunately I didn't have much money to spend so I window shopped a bit then I went back to Ocean Drive...they were really good and I gave them a good tip. It was definitely a really nice and relaxing way to spend a couple hours.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is arguably THE BEST Farmers Market in the…read moremetro-Portland area. I can't think of one thing you can't find here. Fresh produce (get there early if you want flats of blueberries as they sell out quickly and there's always a long line), bakery goodies, spirits, handcrafted items plus the prepared food is amazing too. Have breakfast burrito and a good latte, listen to live music, people watch, and then get some lunch before leaving. You can make a full day of it then go home and take a nap! My reason for four stars is the parking situation. The market is so huge and the lack of parking is what keeps me away. Nothing but street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods and many of the neighbors aren't happy about it and sometimes downright hostile (who can blame them?) Even the handicapped parking is woefully inadequate. Definitely worth a visit despite the parking issues.

So, I haven't been to the farm or the farm store to comment. That sounds ominous, per the other…read morereviews. Gave me pause. Nope, still gonna write this. Every summer this farm puts a truck trailer loaded with corn on the highway between Hillsboro and Cornelius. It's only there a couple of weeks, then GONE till next summer. People call this, "the good corn". I hear about it all the time.From clients, coworkers, gas station attendants... it's a curious weird Hillsboro thing. There are a lot of those, trust me. Ahem. For seven years I've driven right by it. I usually don't have cash or I am in a hurry. Plus, the crowd sometimes looks sketchy. Today though, I had my family in tow and a few bucks,we were having a somewhat boring errand day, so we stopped. Braved the sketchy crowd. $1 for 4 ears. We bought eight. Now, I know how to roast, grill, barbecue, cook in milk,cook in it's husk in the oven a la Tyler Florence, etc. etc. But sheesh, our a/c is out. I ain't doing none of that heat up our house crap. I shucked the suckers, microwaved them, wrapped in wet paper towels, eight minutes for four ears on a plate. Buttered it like my grampa, you slather the piece of bread with unsalted butter ( Tillamook today), and then wrap it around the corn. Works great. Salt, pepper, done. Seriously, the best corn I have ever eaten. Sweet, juicy, goodness. Hurry up, go get some. It's gone in a flash.All those sketchy people (like me) snap it all up!

For example, yesterday there were blueberries, Marionberries, raspberries, blackberries, corn, apples, peaches, plums, figs...and more! You could literally spend a whole day here. There are shaded areas to have a picnic, and lots of animals for the kiddos to look at - chickens, geese, pigs, bunnies, kittens, and more. The farm is family owned and has been running for many years. I've always had very pleasant experiences with the staff there, and enjoy supporting local. Will definitely be back again soon!

Prices were on the higher end, as expected for fresh produce. Seating areas were available at the park and gov buildings. Most stores were also open. We drove, and it took a minute to find a space. Parking was full in the garage, but plenty of neighborhood spots a walk away from the Main Street. Samples were given out by most vendors to try before you buy. We picked up gorgeous mushrooms, veggies and fruits. Then tried out Ranch Pizza for the first time. Ordered a small Hawaiian to share and it was plenty. So good! This is a market I'd come back to.

There's also a newer food cart pod in this area that added extra seating to enjoy your meal while listening to a live band. They also have a car show which is so fun to see Oregon residents get to show off their cars. If you're a fan of farmers markets, don't sleep on this one!
