Portland-Area Farmers’ Markets Ripen for Business
Portland-area farmers’ markets are opening this month, gearing up for the bountiful summer season. Virtually every Portland neighborhood and suburb has a weekly market, flush with fresh, local-grown fruit, vegetables, plants, plus crafts, artwork, music, and more.
Local farmers’ markets are broadening their appeal beyond just local foodies. Many markets are making it easier for lower income families to shop, as well as offering modern transaction services. From the Oregon Farmers’ Market Association:
Farmers’ Markets are increasingly offering electronic services on their market site. These electronic services have expanded sales through the use of food stamps, debit and credit card transactions.
