HEALTHY EATS El Torito Meat Market Lincoln City has plenty of fresh, healthy options. Cooking at your vacation rental? Stock up on fresh organic produce, wild-caught salmon and organic chicken that’s been raised humanely at Trillium Natural Foods, which has supplied Lincoln City with a wide range of fresh foods since 1973. You’ll also find a large supply of goods sold in bulk, including herbs, nuts and grains. El Torito Meat Market offers fresh cuts of meat alongside groceries and Mexican imports. Every Sunday from May to October, you’ll find booths at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. The variety of vendors at Lincoln City Sunday Market makes hunting for fresh food all the more fun because you’re just as likely to stumble across a piece of ocean-inspired art or a tie-dyed shirt as you are to find produce harvested from a Willamette Valley farm. Other offerings could range from jars of raw honey to Guatemalan tamales and fresh-fruit cups. On Fridays and Saturdays (weather permitting) in-season, the parking lot at The Marketplace at Salishan turns into the Artisan Faire, where you’ll find more crafts from sculptures to wooden spoons. Farmstands sell baskets piled high with tomatoes, strawberries and peaches, depending on what’s ripe. You can also score packaged homemade foods like salsas, jams and pickles. The event typically gets underway on Mother’s Day weekend and wraps in October. EXPLORE LINCOLN CITY EXPLORELINCOLNCITY.COM 29
