A chance encounter on a walkie-talkie frequency brought Adam and Julianne Heil together in 1999. Their conversations soon moved from the airwaves to emails, chat messages and, eventually, in-person visits as their friendship blossomed into romance and marriage.
Like thousands of Clark County residents, I had the Clark County Fair on my list of must-do summer events. But unlike many longtime fairgoers, I was experiencing it for the first time.

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.

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.

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.
