At 1:30 p.m. on a sunny Friday, I set out with a friend to drive the entire Clark County’s Barn Quilt Trail. I started in Washougal, the southeastern end of the trail. There’s a barn quilt on a house just a few blocks from where I live. I’d walked by the house dozens of times and never even noticed it, but there it was, plain as day.

Visit to Camas Farmers Market yields treasu

At a recent gathering, my friend Barbara asked me if I knew where to get edible flowers. She wasn’t having luck finding them in stores. I immediately thought of farmers Kelly Peters and Patrick Dorris of Flat Tack Farm. I’ve been a member of their community supported agriculture program for years and I know that they often offer them. On a visit to the Vancouver Farmers Market, I found the flowers my friend was seeking. It made me realize that one of the many great things about the farmers markets in Clark County is that they’re treasure troves of beautiful and interesting food and drink that can’t be found in a grocery store.
