Brookings Harbor Farmers Market — Attraction in Brookings

This Farmer's Market is bigger than I thought. With a produce tent and then a building full of vendors with an array of items, baked goods, canned treats like cinnamon sweet beets, jams, honey, canned fish, meats, and crafts, clothes, much more. I bought a bunch of fruit and veggies, oranges, strawberries, avocados, garlic, and then bought some local canned tuna, some frozen ground beef, fajita meat all great. I tried a broccoli rice casserole slice, some good bread and mushroom soup from the vendor right as you enter the building (A bit pricy but yummy and organic farm to table). Bought some treats from another vendor in the back corner. A huge Peanut butter and chocolate roll. Similar to a cinnamon roll which they also had. The sample of the cinnamon was excellent. However, I decided to get the PB&C roll as I never heard of something like that and they said they were crispy like the cinnamon rolls but it was not. Extremely disappointed with it especially for $8. Tasted like it was days old. Their coconut tart with the macaroon "crust" was good though. The carrot cake with chocolate ganache was ok but not great. Also tried the Coconut Frozen Custard made with duck eggs. Delicious!!! It's a nice place to visit to try something new. Open...

Not cheap, but very interesting place, and I love to support local produce farmers and small businesses. I plan to go back every Wednesday to stock up. I recommend this place if you want organic produce from local farmers. Update 5/22/2024: picked up two excellent jarred products in the fruit & veg stall: fig jam and Asian pears. Have already tried both. $10 & $15, respectively. Both excellent, and not all sugared up like you'd get in a supermarket. Highly...

I've been meaning to stop by for years when I vacation in the area and finally did today. I go to a lot of farmers markets, and I must say, I was absolutely impressed with the size of the market and the variety of goods. If I were local, I'd be buying a lot of fresh produce here. The local artisans had a really nice hand made goods. The canned goods looked so good I spent far more than I meant to on some dilly beans, jams, blueberries and even a mangonada that was very delicious.

I did bring my lab with me and he sure enjoyed all the attention he got while I...
