Fall is here!
As this is the beginning of my favorite week of the year, we planned a fun-filled farm day. And luckily Oregon is the perfect place to have it. Justin and I started the day at the Canby Farmers Market. I haven't been to a farmers market since Marbella so it was long overdue. We picked up some yummy local veggies for dinner before heading off.
After leaving the market, we went to the Canby fair grounds to see the Flock & Fiber Festival. We arrived just as the Irish Wolfhound judging competition was ending. These are some incredible looking dogs. And they are huge! All I wanted to do was give them a big hug and cuddle them. It was kinda odd to see so many gigantic dogs all in one place, but they seemed to be enjoying the day too. After the dogs we walked to the other side of the grounds to the festival. If you know me at all, you might have heard I have a thing for sheep. We went first to the animal side of things and checked them out. They were beautiful, and very well behaved. They even had some baby lambs with their mom, very cute. The rest of the festival was a knitter's, crochet, weaver's dream, every type and color of fiber was available for purchase.
We soon set off and after having a tasty pub lunch at McMenamins Oregon City we drove to the Philip Foster Farm in Eagle Creek. They were just happening to have their cider squeeze. It was perfect weather to hang outside and listen to some fiddle music, eat some homemade apple pie and get some cider for home.
Just an excellent day in Oregon! And we still have tomorrow...
