Looking for local Farmers Markets

[del7]

We will be in the area in a couple of weeks and prefer to do all or most of our business locally. can anyone tell me the best place to buy fresh produce? I think we'll stick with the fish market we've been using for years, but need a good produce market. We found a place last season but we can't remember where it was.
Thanks

For the Health of It in Blue Mountain Beach

Vegetables and Perennials by a Girl Named Toni in Grayton (behind Sherwin Williams paint store)

Seaside Farmer's Market, Saturdays 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the amphitheater (town center) -- fresh, local, organic fruits and veggies, plants, pastured eggs, and yummy breakfast/brunch specials at Raw & Juicy (in the Airstream) by local chefs.

I appreciate your desire to support local businesses. Hope you have a great time here!

what ever happened to Carl Cotton?

If I recall correctly, the county, when revising the 331/98 Scenic Corridor guidelines, made roadside farmer's markets on 331 south of the bay and 98 illegal (I think it had to do with architectural and sign standards -- it was a while back, don't recall details). I tried to get an exception for them included in the new guidelines, but I couldn't get any traction with that.

I thought Cotton's was up by the 20/331/bypass intersection now?

It is, just south of Banktrust on the southbound side of 331.

Good to know--very glad Mr. Cotton was able to find a spot to keep the market going. I'll have to make a point to get up to Freeport a little more often!

Yes, he is. We bought tomatoes there the other day. Glad to see him back.

For the Health of It, in Blue Mtn Beach, is a great store, with some really cool owners and employees who know their products and care about their customers.
