King Farmers Market opens May 6th!

by David Sweet

Food lovers rejoice!  The weekly celebration known as the King Farmers Market begins its fourth season on Sunday, May 6th. Located on NE 7th Avenue between Alberta and Prescott Streets, the market will be open from 10 am to 2 pm every Sunday through October. The market will again offer a wide selection of the freshest local fruits and vegetables, as well as meat, cheese, eggs, fish, wine, baked goods, plant starts, hot food, and cut flowers. Musical performances and the adjacent King School Park and playground make this the ideal family destination.

Also continuing at King is the Fresh Exchange incentive for participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) formerly known as the Food Stamp Program. SNAP shoppers receive a dollar-for-dollar match (up to an additional $7 per week) to spend at the market. Since 2009, Fresh Exchange has provided more than $33,000 to SNAP shoppers at King, helping to ensure that everyone in our community can enjoy our neighborhood farmers market. Fresh Exchange is supported by individuals, organizations, and businesses in the community, including a generous annual donation from the Sabin Community Association.

The King Farmers Market is a weekly neighborhood festival celebrating the abundance of the Pacific Northwest. We hope to see you there.

The edible garden at Sabin School is coming back to life after the winter. For the past month students at Sabin have been starting seeds inside and those starts are now going into the ground. Baby chard, kale, spinach, onion and tomato plants now transplanted into beds and thriving outside. The Sabin edible garden turns into a full scale outdoor classroom during the Sabin SUN School's summer program, which will be held this coming July. Nearly 100 students will use this space daily as a venue for learning more about pollinators, plant life cycles, nutrition and to learn gardening skills. A lot of work is required to get the space ready to go for this learning. We are hopeful you will join us on May 19th for a work party.

 
Where:  Sabin School North Playground
When:  9:00am - 12:00pm, Saturday, May 19
Who: You, your children, neighbors and friends
Why: Plant, thin, weed in the beds and raspberry trellis construction
What to bring: Gloves and appropriate clothing and footwear

Sabin Community Orchard Neighborhood Party - May 20

5/4/2012

by Gwenn Baldwin

Come celebrate the Sabin Community Orchard and visit with your neighbors!

Sunday, May 20th, 2:00-4:30pm
NE Mason between 18th and 19th

There will be scheduled tours of the orchard and opportunities to create “Art in the Orchard,” from stepping stones to fairy houses. If you want to do a little planting, we’ll be starting a sunflower “tunnel,” too. It’s a family-friendly event, with fun activities for kids and adults and food/drinks. You’ll also see drafts of our new interpretive signs—and we’d love to hear your feedback!

We’ll be there rain or shine, with canopies in case of inclement weather.

Questions? Please contact Jaye at intern@portlandfruit.org.
