Reminder: Tomorrow is Wednesday and the WMM at 8am at Pizza a Fetta
(upstairs). Coffee is courtesy of Pizza a Fetta and Bella Espresso. Thank
you James!. Come a bit early to pick up your coffee downstairs at Bella.
Please bring your own coffee cup.
Note1: There is a planned power outage tomorrow (Wednesday) starting at
11pm lasting till approx 5am. Get your electronics charged before 11pm and
reset all your electric clocks in the morning.
Note2: *Today is Tuesday and the Farmer's Market in Midtown (*Photos at
http://gvfa.smugmug.com/Events/CannonBeachFarmersMarket*)*. This is the
second to the last of the season. The prepared food and live music are open
from 1-5pm and the vendors are open from 2-5pm. However, many vendors are
ready to sell at 1pm. The Market will continue on Tuesday's through September
29th at the corner of Hemlock and E. Gower in the City Hall parking lot. Look
for
The *Wine Shack*. They strive to provide you with the best wine selection
anywhere on the coast. The Wine Shack has a wide variety of exceptional
wines from Oregon, Washington, California and around the world. They have
over 60 Oregon Pinot Noirs – one of the best selections in the state. They
also offer collectible wines, wines from boutique wineries, and their very
own, award-winning Puffin Wine collection (a portion of sales are donateded
to The Friends of Haystack Rock Program.) The Wine Shack also has a new
endeavor in their Provisions 123 gourmet market. They specialize in
products that are local, artisan and fresh. The market is stocked with
many delights from many of our CBFM vendors, such as OFalafel, TbeeS Honey,
Sweet Treats by George, Seaing Greens, Olympia Provisions, Jacob's Creamery
and CB Salt ( which is made from the ocean water at Tolavana)! Can't get
much more local than that! Stop by the CBFM and The Wine Shack in downtown
CB.
*Ron Stark* who owns *TbeeS*, harvests all natural, local, healthy honey
from his own hives in Sherwood, Or. He has many varieties of honey as well
as Royal Jelly, Honey Mustard (spicy or slightly spicy) and his newest
product is a Honey BBQ Sauce that melts into the food on your grill. Stop
by and see him at the market. You will gain an amazing amount of
information about bees and and the health benefits of consuming honey.
*Gales Meadow Farm*. The ground cherries are ready and should be available
through early October. Yum! They should be able to fill 2–3 orders of up to
20 pints each this week. They keep well. They also now have homemade
Tomatillo sauce.
*Nature's Wild Harvest* Ah, it's raining, therefore it is wild mushroom
season! Bill has his farmed Mitakes and Shitakes throughout the market
season, but NOW he also has foraged Porcine, Hedgehogs, Chicken of the
Woods, Lobster, Mayfair and yellow or white Chanterells. Get em while has
em...they go fast! Soo good!
