Farm Market

Chef in the Market | Aromas and expert advice draw crowds to the market throughout the season for cooking demonstrations conducted by the area's best chefs. Curious cooks watch chefs and cookbook authors from Portland and around the United States as they turn the market’s seasonal produce into simple, delectable dishes.

Taste the Place Recipe Station | Taste the Place Recipe Station's primary mission is to introduce shoppers to seasonal produce. Stop by the Recipe Station every Saturday at PSU from May to December to learn about seasonal eating, preparation, storage, preservation, and health benefits of market produce.

Preserving the Market | The art of preserving food is ancient, and the urge to get back to those old-time, down-home flavors and techniques just keeps getting stronger. This 8 week series combines some important old techniques and communicates them such that you can reproduce the results at home.

Our Market

Each year the number of vendors has grown and today operations have been expanded to manage more than 250 vendors at the urban core. Total sales for all vendors are nearly $6 million annually, with the majority of that income going directly to vendors themselves.

And how does the Farmers Market continue to operate each year? It relies upon its customers, first. Also, the market funds its operations by holding an annual fundraising auction and dinner, as well as through the generosity of corporate sponsors.

So don't miss out on this landmark experience. And then take the time to visit the other five Farmers Markets. Each has its own unique feel and appeal... from the integration of the Wednesday Shemanski Park market into downtown life to the neighborhood feel of the markets at NW 23rd and in the King and Buckman neighborhoods, to the excitement of visiting an urban market in the middle of Pioneer Courthouse Square.
