What is there to say about Farmer’s Markets in Portland, Oregon…a lot. The city is not only green in nature, but green in spirit as well. There is a bike share system set up throughout the city, one of the few in the entire country, many of the best Portland hotels, restaurants and cafes serve menus of produce that is locally grown, and organic as well. It is no wonder that there are quite a few option through the week to find a farmers market.
The Portland Farmer’s Markets are always in the top of the list of markets in the country, and the Saturday market at Portland State University is one of the largest local events, drawing many tourists as well. The feeling in the market is one of diversity and creative, with artists setting up their work right next to the local farmers’ baskets of fruits and vegetables. There are four other markets that are put up through the week as well, each with its own unique style and appeal.
The Wednesday market is held between Main and Salmon at the northern side of South Park. Being that this is located in the heart of downtown, many business people find this convenient for their needs and wants. There are two different markets to choose from each Thursday. One is in East Bank located in the Southeastern area of Portland and one is in the Pearl District located in the Ecotrust Building.
East Bank is an area filled with families and the market is a place for those in the neighborhood to congregate and swap stories as much as it is a place to find delicious produce and merchandise. The market in Ecotrust, is the hip, fast paced alternative for those wanting a bit more of a downtown feel and vibe. And now on Sundays, folks can head over to the King neighborhood to the North of the city. The Sunday market is still new and still developing its feel, but the neighborhood is in full support and it will most certainly become as successful as the other markets throughout the city.
