Tip of the Week
Chanterelles
Did you know that Chanterelles are Oregon's official state mushroom? They are a great introduction to mushrooms for the novice cook looking to experiment with something new. They make an excellent accompaniment with eggs. Sauté thinly sliced Chanterelles in butter or olive oil. Throw in some garlic or shallots, a little salt and pepper. Add this to your omelet for a delectable breakfast.
-- Lars Norgren, Peak Forest Fruit

Be sure to bring your camera to the market this month, because during October the Hollywood Farmers' Market is holding its 3rd Annual Photo Contest. Visit the Information Booth at the corner of 44th and Hancock for details and entry forms.
 As a reminder to our beloved dog-owning customers and their best friends, dogs are welcome at the market after 10:00am in an effort to provide a market experience that appeals to a range of preferences. Please honor the wishes of your fellow shoppers and refrain from bringing dogs into the market before 10:00am. After ten, stop by the Information Booth for dog treats.
This is likely the last week for peaches and strawberries will soon succumb to the colder weather as well. Be sure to get your fill while you still can at the market this Saturday.
Mark your calendars, this season is the third year the Hollywood Farmers' Market will be open in November. Our November hours are from 9am - 1pm and our last market of the season will be November 21st.
See you at the market! |

Hollywood Farmers' Market Seeks Treasurer
By Carollyn Farrar, Chair, HFM Board of Directors
"Where one door closes, another opens." -Don Quixote
For Katrina Cleburn, Board Treasurer for the Hollywood Farmers' Market, a door will be closing soon and another one will open. Katrina will be moving to Singapore in January and she will be missed. Her accounting ingenuity, enthusiasm, and attention to detail keep the Board and our budget on track so we can continue to enhance our community-based farmers' market, supporting small farmers and healthy urban neighborhoods.
Katrina's departure and other circumstances create up to four open seats on the Hollywood Farmers' Market Board of Directors. In joining the Board, you'll meet great people committed to leadership, building community, enhancing education, creating partnerships, and focusing on the importance of fresh local foods.
If you have accounting experience, and can volunteer a couple of hours a week, we'd like to talk with you specifically about the Treasurer seat.
Other skill sets we currently seek in new Board Members include an
interest in Board leadership, marketing, and strategic planning. All skills are welcome!
Applications for 2010 Board positions can be downloaded on our website at www.hollywoodfarmersmarket.org. Click on Opportunities to download the file. Please email your completed application by noon on Monday, October 12, 2009.

Oktoberfest Flair in Hollywood
Nothing marks the beginning of fall quite like a good Oktoberfest celebration, and thanks to some great community partners, the Hollywood Farmers' Market had a distinctive Oktoberfest flavor last Saturday.
Laurelwood Brewing Co. served up tastings of their Laurelfest Lager as Haldeman's Oom-Pah Boys played German classics and even some covers of a few American favorites. Alfred Novacek, a long-time Hollywood Farmers' Market customer, shared his sauerkraut recipe and demonstrated how easy it is to make. Try it at home!
Alfred Novacek's Sauerkraut Recipe
(double recipe as needed)
Mix together 5 lbs. shredded cabbage and 3 Tbs. pickling salt.
Put mixture into a stone jar and tamp until juiced. Cover with cabbage leaves. Put a plate and a weight on top. Store at 60-70 degrees for three weeks. Periodically check top for film or scum and remove if found. |
