Clatskanie Farmers` Market Open For Business

Clatskanie Farmers’ Market Open For Business
Saturdays in Cope’s Park, June through September
Buying fresh produce straight from the person who grew it, or
eggs from the person who raised the chickens are throw-backs to
days gone by. The Clatskanie Farmers’ Market is a great way to
help consumers connect with what they are eating: They can talk
directly with the gardener or farmer, they can see what fruit, vegetables and berries grow in certain months, and they will come
to understand the importance of healthy soil and water that are
necessary to nourish crops that are grown without chemicals. The
Clatskanie Farmers’ Market will also be filled with arts and crafts
which gives the artists a venue for showing their talents.
The Market will be in operation every Saturday from June
through September from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM in Cope’s Park. A
list of seasonal produce, crafts and what is happening each week at
the Market will be listed on the Market website: clatskaniefarmersmarket.wordpress.com. You can also follow us on facebook or contact us via e-mail: clatskaniefm@gmail.com. We are always looking for quality produce growers, crafts people and food vendors. If
one is interested in selling at the Market they can send an email or
contact one of the Clatskanie Farmers’ Market coordinators: Darro
Breshears-Routon (971-506-7432) or Sonia Reagan (503-728-3509).
