Seasonal Sunday market held in Astoria, Clatsop County — the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies, sited at the mouth of the Columbia River where Lewis and Clark wintered in 1805-06. Astoria's location at the convergence of Pacific Ocean maritime air and Columbia River valley winds creates one of the Pacific Northwest's most distinctive microclimates, with heavy rainfall and mild temperatures year-round. Beekeepers here work a coastal rainforest honey palette: fireweed from summer clearcuts, red and white clover from logged meadows, big-leaf maple blossom in early spring, blackberry and Himalayan blackberry through midsummer, and Oregon grape across the forest understory. The Columbia River valley acts as a migration corridor for pollinators between Coast Range and Cascade populations. Honey from this corner of Oregon reflects the lush, rain-drenched character of the Pacific Coast — lighter and more floral than inland Pacific Northwest varieties.
