Growers Outlet

It's the season for fresh fruits and veggies! Yay! I love going to the local markets and seeing whats new or even discovering a new market nearby. Since I moved up to the north side of portland a couple of months ago, I've looking around for another market near me that I liked and this is the one I found! The Growers Outlet has a nice selection of veggies and fruits, it's prices are pretty reasonable, and the service was good! The people there are nice and friendly, which is highly important if I'm trying to drag around two kids.

Now they don't stop and just fruit and veggies, they also have a nice selection of pastas, cereals, beans, jams, granolas, etc.

They also make fruit baskets! Isn't that cool? Here's a general list of what they have based on the season, straight from their website:

Spring brings you Fresh Local Strawberries, Cherries, Asparagus, as well as Hanging Flower Baskets, Bedding and Vegetable Plants, just to name a few. 


Summer brings you Fresh Local Tomatoes, Green Beans, Peaches and Pears, Hermiston Watermelons, Corn, Canning supplies and all the other delights that come with the summer.


Fall brings you Fresh Local Apples of every variety, a complete line of Winter Squash, potted Mums and a complete line of fall decorations such as Corn Stalks, Gourds and even Hay Bales.  It also brings our own Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze that’s a favorite for kids of all ages.  Free to the public.  Bring your camera for the many picture opportunities!


Winter brings you a complete line of hand packed Holiday Fruit Baskets to choose from.  They make great gifts for your family, friends or business customers.  We have them ready to go or you can have them custom made to your liking.  You can buy one or order as many as you need for the Holidays.  It also brings our Huge Christmas Tree Lot.  We have hundreds of trees all standing up, so you can easily see for yourself which tree works best for you. They also have hundreds of Wreaths, big and small to choose from. It’s truly the nicest tree lot in the city.
