The Corvallis Saturday Farmer’s Market

What is so great about the Farmer’s Market each Saturday here in Corvallis, Oregon?

We have the street performers

Gumbo (above) is a local ( completely stunning ) band, we have seen them play at tons of different locations, and they never fail to impress and even bring the most reluctant toes to a tap. To hear Gumbo, go to the Wild Rose Artists website and click on the link to Gumbo on the bottom left, so fun for the whole family to listen to. Listen up! Enjoy.

old growth trail (with bonus good rock throwing pond)

Sunday was the perfect hiking day. It was the perfect temp, and just right. We went with some friends to the Old Growth trail which is nice because it has tons of “kid stuff” to do on the way. It is pretty steep for a lot of it, so kids must hold hands…besides that it is completely kid friendly. (No nudes or anything -hahahaha~!!)

bridges are always a hit- especially if sticks or rocks are nearby.

dirt piles, we slide on for hours….

uuuuu, and ponds surrounded by rocks, a dream (this one can be missed if you don’t know where it is so it is somewhat of a secret- which makes it even better!)

throwing, throwing, THROWING.



all of the kids made it pretty much the entire way, there was a little whining at the end, but it was over a mile of hiking and they were all excellent adventurers!
