The Columbia City Farmers' Market celebrated its 10th anniversary yesterday, with a big cake and a chef demo by Julie Andres, of La Medusa restaurant.
Julie is at the market every Wednesday right after it opens, shopping with a red wagon for ingredients for the restaurant's changing Wednesday night market menu. For her demo she made fresh pasta with seasonal vegetables, which happens to be one of my favorite meals.
I've been vending at Columbia City since practically the beginning, and it's changed considerably during that time, growing from a tiny event to one of the biggest markets in the city. It's tapered off some after peaking a few years ago, but it's still steady and always entertaining, and it draws a loyal crowd.
