Portland Farmer's Market at PSU


2 Spring Raabs: $5
Pheasant and Garlic Shoot Pate: $6
Fiddleheads: $3
Fruit (Red Anjou Pear, Fuji Apple, Honeycrisp Apple and one other kind of apple I don't remember name of): $7
Eggs: $6
Italian and Curly Leafed Parsley: $1.25
Watercress: $3
Chives: $2
Asparagus: $4
Kale: $2.25

Total: $39.50

This is actually quite good because my mom is visiting me so I was buying for two.  It's crazy but the Farmer's Market is a much better deal compared to Safeway, at least in terms of fruit.  Today I popped into Safeway to pick up non-expensive eggs for baking and saw the price for Red Anjou Pear was $1.99 (compared to Farmer's Market price of $1.25) and the Fuji Apples were also quite a bit more.  So now I have the satisfaction of knowing I'm getting the freshest produce I can, for what turns out to be a very reasonable price.
