The farmers in the Ten Rivers foodshed are a mixed crowd—and I mean that in the best possible way. From grass seed farmers with thousands of acres under their care to blueberry growers, organic vegetable farmers, and pastured livestock farmers, we’re blessed with a diversity of growers, crops, and approaches. When Ronnie Meers started Spectrum Light Organics less than two years ago just outside Lebanon, he added a new element to the local food scene—organic wheatgrass for juicing.

It’s farmers’ market season again! Corvallis and Albany markets opened on Saturday, April 17 and April 21st and will be followed soon by other markets throughout the valley. So, dig out your largest and most favored farmers’ market shopping basket. (Somehow baskets seem more appropriate for outdoor shopping, don’t they? Unless, of course, you’re on your bike.)

No matter where you are, there’s a farmers’ market nearby. If it’s not listed here, please let us know and we’ll add it to the ever-growing list of western Oregon farmers’ markets.

Partners for Progress in Downtown Lebanon invite you to join them for their first Annual Downtown Farmers’ Market every Thursday, starting May 21st and running through September 24th.
The Market is located on Ash Street between Main and 2nd in downtown Lebanon and runs from 3 to 7 p.m.
Come support the Market and other downtown businesses and go home with locally-grown foods. Join us for our Grand Opening on June 4th!
