    “Veterans of previous seasons are beginning to refine their maker goods, eye their gardening implements, dog-ear their seed catalogues, and scribble out grandiose plans for their market galleries and spring gardens. They know the rewarding hard work of the summer market season never really ends. It continues through the winter and into the spring. Market vendors live for this opportunity; we would have it no other way. If this sparks your imagination, you may be one of us.

    Cope's Park will again host our relentless efforts to bring to the community fresh vegetables, wildly imaginative arts and crafts and the best of maker goods. Our market manager will effortlessly guide us through what we fully expect will be another successful year.

    You will find that our Market family is full of welcome and fun to work with. Market day is one of those exquisite times in the life of a community when folks come together to celebrate their good fortune, hard work and abundance with good cheer.

    There really is no better place to be on summer Saturdays. Come join us.”

  • Welcome! This is the application process for our Spring Market and our Winter Market (note these are one day only markets.)

    Applications and details for the 2024 markets will be available at least one month before each market.

    MAY 4th SPRING MARKET APPLICATION

Testimonial:

"The Clatskanie Farmer Collective organization, which includes the Clatskanie Food Hub and the Clatskanie Farmers Market, offers many opportunities for us to market and distribute our farm goods to our local community. Both venues allow us to engage directly with our community either through in person interactions at the market or by providing fresh nutrient dense locally grown produce at a central location four days a week. The organization is passionate and well managed; with a focus on building and sustaining an eco-friendly food system. They have created a fun and inviting space for local produce and goods to be accessible to our community members. As a producer, we particularly admire their ability to be inclusive, rather than competitive, when providing an avenue for local farms and producers to connect with customers. We look forward to continuing to grow our farm business through involvement in the Clatskanie Farmers Market as well as the Food Hub."
