Guide to Oregon’s Farmers Markets

There’s something special about a Saturday morning spent strolling through a local farmers market, coffee in hand, the smell of fresh produce in the air, and a connection to the community you just don’t get from a grocery aisle. In Oregon, we’re lucky to have an incredible variety of farmers markets that showcase the best of what our region grows, bakes, and makes.

Whether you’re a longtime local or new to the neighborhood, farmers markets are more than just a place to shop—they’re an experience, and a great way to get to know the heart of your community.

Shopping at farmers markets isn’t just about the food (though let’s be real, the food is amazing). It’s about supporting small farms, reducing your carbon footprint, and keeping your dollars local. Plus, you get seasonal, super-fresh produce that often lasts longer and tastes better than store-bought.

And let’s not forget the bonus perks like live music, artisan goods, flower bouquets, handmade soaps, fresh bread, local honey, and often, some of the best food carts around.
