Singing in the Rain

As I drove through the torrential rain on Saturday to set up our booth for the Oregon City Farmer's Market I thought that anyone that came to the market that day would be extremely brave and really want some wonderful produce or pastries! We had so many delicious creations for the market that day. Pictured above is our vanilla, chocolate and raspberry torte frosted with chocolate buttercream and decorated with chopped hazelnuts. It was very popular and served by the slice.

At the beginning of the market we told a fellow market friend that "even if we stand here all day and laugh and talk, it'll be a great day." And, so it was! However, we did see a lot of our loyal customers and they were so appreciative that we were there. We were also so thankful and happy that they came on such a cold, wet & rainy day! They are true Oregonians and true market-goers as well. That is the mark of a person that is dedicated to supporting farmers and local businesses and we really appreciate that so much!

On Saturday at the market we gave out samples of some delicious handmade truffles in three different flavors of coconut, vanilla and Earl Grey tea. They were very well received and we had fun talking to people about our holiday offerings. The truffles are pictured below:

The market manager decided to end the market early and so we decided to all go out to eat and then go and visit our friend Gwen's new store The Green Grocer in Oregon City. We took a lot of samples of our pastries there and we talked to her about having our baked goods in her store. She is very dedicated to supporting all of the local farmers and businesses in her store and has many wonderful things to offer there. It's a great chance for businesses like ours to keep going in the off season from the farmer's market.

After the market is over this Saturday, October 27th if customers order cakes, pies, scones or other baked goods from us we will deliver them for pick up at the Green Grocer store located at 891 Molalla Avenue, Oregon City, OR 97045. Her phone number is 503-657-5977. So, feel free to order from us during the off season and for the upcoming holidays. Let us know when you'd like your order and we'll make sure it is delivered to the Green Grocer and you can pick it up there at your leisure.

A huge thank you to Gwen at her store and to all of our wonderful, loyal customers!
