Farmers' Markets:
Strengthening
Agriculture & Communities
Farmers' markets have
experienced a renaissance in recent years in
Oregon and throughout the nation.
Farmers' markets are good
for farmers and good for the communities they
serve.
For farmers, farmers' markets provide a
place where farmers can reconnect with consumers
and capture retail dollars for their fresh quality
products.
For communities, farmers' markets are
family-friendly, community-building events that
bring neighbors together, attract retail activity
to surrounding businesses, create forums for civic
education and involvement and provide direct
access to Oregon’s agricultural bounty.
If you are an ardent advocate of strengthening
local economies, supporting Oregon agriculture and
