River People Farmers Market

The River People Farmers Market brings to the community of Astoria and its surrounding communities a vital resource: a true farmers market focused on making fresh produce and local food products more available to North Coast residents. There is a great need in our North Coast communities for more access to fresh, healthy food, especially for lower-income residents. As well, local small farms and ranches, part-time producers, fishers, and other food producers need easier, affordable market access in an atmosphere that will foster business development and encourage economic growth. North Coast Food Web is partnering with the Astoria Coop, The Blue Scorcher Bakery, Coast Community Radio and Oregon State Extension University Clatsop County to bring the first of many planned regional farmers markets to the community of Astoria in order to make the direct connection between farmer, rancher and fishers and local consumers easier and economically beneficial for all.
