Corvallis-Albany Farmers' Market

The fall is always such an amazing time for harvest! It is one of my favorite things to watch all the pumpkins get bigger and bigger and then to tromp through the mud to pick the perfect pumpkin for carving! It is also my favorite time to stop by the Farmers' Market for all the fresh peppers, apples, and squash. The Corvallis-Albany Farmers' Markets are open throughout the Summer and well into the Fall. Read on for the details!

Corvallis-Albany Farmers' Market:

Our goal is to provide highly visible, centralized locations in Corvallis and Albany for mid-Willamette Valley and Coast Range farmers and gardeners to market high-quality produce directly to consumers.




Farmers’ markets:

• Educate consumers about how their food is grown and processed.
• Support small family farmers, whose continued existence depends on direct marketing opportunities, and related small-scale economic activity.
• Protect air quality and the environment by shortening the distance food travels from farm to consumer and  by encouraging sustainable agriculture practices.
• Create a community activity that helps revitalize downtowns, riverfronts and other community resources.
• Meet certain community needs that have been swept aside in pursuit of a “modern” food distribution system.
• Farmers’ markets contribute to livable communities

Albany Farmers' Market
4th & Ellsworth, Saturdays, 9 AM to 1 PM, April 19 - Nov. 22, 2014

Corvallis Farmers' Market
1st & Jackson, Saturdays & Wednesdays, 9 AM to 1 PM, April 19 - Nov. 26, 2014
