Portland's Eastside Farmer's Markets
- Gresham Saturday Market (mid Apr-Sep)
- Gresham Farmers Market (May-Oct)
- Hollywood Farmers' Market (year-round)
- Lents International Farmers' Market (Jun-Nov)
- Montavilla Farmers Market (year-round)
- Portland Farmers Market (year-round)

(Complete details on these area markets below)
You'll find plenty of root vegetables, braising greens and lettuces, and of course plant starts for your own vegetable garden.
Bring your reusable shopping bags and plenty of small bills, though some of the markets will trade you a credit/debit card for wooden tokens that all vendors accept, which can be easier to handle than cash. We've indicated those markets that accept EBT or other food assistant coupons.
