Farm to Market 3.7 miles


Meet Joe Fankhouser.  He’s the guy who brings our vegetables to you at the Redmond Saturday Market.  He's there,  every Saturday from 9am to 3pm. 

During the week, he’s out in the fields, managing the crew.  They plant, weed, and harvest all day in sunshine or rain.  It makes for long days.

On Saturday, his day starts even earlier.  He and the crew harvest the vegetables, then load up the van  and drive to the Redmond Saturday Market.  From morning to mid-afternoon, he sells the freshest vegetables which travel the shortest distance to get to market.

You stop by and choose the vegetables you’d like.  Farm to Market to Table. Your table.
It doesn’t get any fresher, any more local than that.  And you can shake Joe’s hand.
