On the opening day of the Lebanon Downtown Farmers' Market, the Santiam Food Alliance will offer free lettuce starts to pot and take home along with tastings of raw greens, spring rolls with greens, and tabbouleh, parsley salad from the Eastern Mediterranean. Cards printed with the spring-roll and tabbouleh recipes will also be available at no charge, and a Master Gardener will be on hand to offer growing advice. The Santiam Food Alliance spreads the joy of locally grown food in the area encompassing Lebanon, Sweet Home, and Scio. For more information about the SFA, call Linda at 503-707-1539.
