Often when we write our blog posts about Portland, they are derived out of our own experiences and this one is no different. The other day we were trying to find a comprehensive list of all of the Portland Metro area Farmers Markets and Saturday Markets, and we were shocked at how difficult it was. If you knew of a specific Beaverton Farmers Market or a specific PDX Saturday Market and just wanted to look up the details, that was easy. But if you were trying to discover a new area Farmers Market to try, it was not at all easy.

Instead of just searching for each city, I thought it would be easier for myself and others in the future if there was a handy, detailed list of all of the Farmers Market and Saturday Markets in the Portland area in a single article. It was not easy and took the better part of a few business days to do all the research, but trust me, this list will make your weekends a lot easier and hopefully much more fun with easy access to the local farmers markets.

 

So here’s what we’ve put together…

Below you will find two main lists. One comprehensive list of Portland area Farmers Markets by city and another list of self described Portland Metro Saturday Markets, also listed by city. Included with every listed farmers market, we added times, locations and links to additional information you may want, while keeping it as short and comprehensive as possible.

We did our very best to make this the most complete list of farmers markets and I think you will find we came pretty close. So grab a cup of coffee and find a new market to visit in the Portland area and let us know what you think of it.
