Food, Friendship & Fun
Join us at the Umpqua Valley Farmers Market
Yes, the market is open! Please read below for details:
- We will have extra volunteers on-site.
- Our vendors will be spaced out to make it easier for shoppers to stay at least 6-feet from each other.
- No samples will be offered.
- Vendors will adhere to Center for Disease Control (CDC) protocols.
- High-touch areas will be frequently sanitized.
- A hand-washing station that is foot activated will be provided. Neither vendors, nor their staff (nor you too) will come to the Farmers Market if they are ill. We’ll have reminder signs posted.
- No public tables or seating will be provided.
- Please quickly buy your items and leave. No visiting, no chatting. If possible, leave your children at home. Or keep them with you, no running around. We want everyone to come and go as quickly as possible.
- Hot food will be taken to go.
We will have park and order spots available for those who don’t want to leave their cars. You can call ahead to 541-530-6200 and we’ll pack up an order for you. Or you can order through Facebook messenger.
Please be patient with us as we learn and adjust to this new, temporary system. We are grateful for you and are committed to providing you with healthy, local produce, meats, honey, fish, flowers, foods and more! See you at the Market!

Food Hero
Connecting children with fresh, locally grown food
Do you have little ones? Stop by the Farmer's Market Information Booth to participate in our Food Hero program. We frequently offer fun activities like food tastings, crafts and our popular bike smoothie maker. We also give out vouchers worth $2 for children to spend on fruits and veggies.
Double Up Bucks
Get more fruits and vegetables when you spend your OregonTrail Card SNAP dollars at participating farmers markets. For example, if you spend $10 of your SNAP dollars at the market, we will give you another $10 to buy more locally grown fruits and vegetables (dependent on fund availability).
