Corvallis Farmers' Market — Attraction in Corvallis

Farmers around Corvallis constitute a friendly source of local, living food: unpasteurized plants whose unsterilized state allows their cultures of microorganisms to abide. Lactobacteria and friends, who symbiotically protect plants against pests while being supplied nutrients purposefully by their happily hosting plants, also increase the bioavailability of some nutrients while synthesizing other nutrients needed by humans but produced by neither plants nor animals.

An example of one of these nutrients is vitamin B12. Lactobacteria are observed to be associated with reduced incidence of vaginal infections when they ferment glycogen purposefully supplied by their human hosts into lactic acid, thereby maintaining a healthy pH in the vagina, which is hence too acidic for many "bad bugs" who would happily feed on glycogen.

Microorganismal symbionts in the gut break down fiber, the indigestible structure of plants analogous to bone in animals, and other indigestible probiotics to produce nutrients for their hosts. I take these as reasons to embrace my microorganism. I mean, they are 10 to 100 times more numerous in a healthy human's body than are human cells.

Did I mention the farmers, the makers of artisanal bread(which is a product of microbial action, as is all bread), and the mushroom-harvesters share their knowledge on request? Score!

There are several musical performances to enjoy. I appreciate the chance to interact with the friendly town's people or keep to myself while strolling along the river. Please come if you need help finding your smile. it looks...

The excitement, goodness and warm feelings one might normally feel from buying 'fresh' farm-to-table vegetables was quickly washed away, when we got home and opened our 'special treasures from the Corvallis Farmer's market yesterday. We purchased one small 'over priced - $4' basket of what we thought, based on the top cherry tomatoes, were artisanal. When we removed the plum-colored tomato, the lavender colored tomato, a yellow tomato and a couple of red tomatoes from the top the rest of the container was filled with common red cherry tomatoes... Our second special find were green tomatoes. $3 or for 1 large, 1 med.& 1 small. We were particularly excited and planned on having Fried Green Tomatoes for dinner. When we took them out of the little basket one had very buggy holes, one had some odd stuff on the top and the other one was ok. For our first time at Corvallis Farmers Market, this was Not the experience we yearned for. We really did not expect this type of disception and from local farmers. I guess, Caveat Emptor still holds so... We will go back to getting our Organics from Trader Joe's and Fred Meyers. I wish I knew how to post a picture of the...

The Corvallis Farmers Market is super amazing. We love to go there every week mainly for fresh milk. The Farmers Market has a really great program where they'll match snap dollars. I really wish they could match more snap dollars but they do what they can. All the vendors seem happy and knowledgeable. I would have rated the farmer's market with 5 Stars except for the fact that I see dogs in there all the time and I find it completely disgusting and unsanitary not to mention the few times I've seen somebody's dog try to attack the guy who sells pork. I think it's ridiculous to let animals in while you're eating and selling food unless of course they're service animals but that is not the case here. It's unfortunate and disgusting that they just let any and...
