Portland Farmer’s Markets in Full Summer Swing

Now that the sun is out and summer is in full swing in Portland, the farmer’s market scene has come out of its winter hibernation and bringing with it each week tons of new and exciting products and produce for market-goers to get their hands on. Local strawberries are in full swing, but other varieties of berries and stone fruits such as cherries and apricots are also starting to make an appearance. Rhubarb, asparagus, salad greens, cucumbers, snap peas, faves, carrots, beets, and so many early-season veggies will continue to be staples as we move through summer.

Below you will find a list of just a few of my favorite farmer’s markets in town throughout the summer season. Be sure to get there early and stay hydrated, because the hot ticket items will go fast as market die-hards know that the best kind of eating in this town is highly dependent on what’s seasonal and available locally. Lastly, be sure to support your local vendors in addition to the farms, by purchasing delicious products, tasty ready-made foods, and floral arrangements to keep your house looking bright and smelling great all summer long.
