corvallis farmers' market

I come here for a good exposure to what types of harvest are available in the Mid Willamette Valley. People are smiling and kind to each other. Water fountain is a great magnet for kids. Nice breakfast/lunch food options also. The size is just about right for Corvallis. I like this market. However, I come here for Cuban Salsa Dancing. This year, it was once per month. Wonderful people from Rumbanana put together Stree Salsa Dancing, "Rueda en la Calle" from 11 AM to 1 PM. Great energy, fun people, and many people coming from Eugene, Salem, and Portland, too. What a nice addition to farmers' market!

This market is pretty big...flowers, meats, fruits and vegetables, jellies and honeys, bread and cheese and other organizations letting you know who they are. Along the riverfront so park within a 3 block radius and youll still be nearby, musicians sprinkled throughout...great products...good time.

There's nothing not to like. Parking can be tough, but the fact that it's along the river is lovely! So many choices of wares and great people!

The market along 1st St., adjacent to the narrow riverfront park is open mid-April through Nov. Sat. & Wed. It's fun to talk to growers about their beautiful produce, listen to musicians, watch kids play in fountains....Easy walk to browse downtown shops and explore the lovely OSU campus. A "sister" Saturday farmer's market is in Albany near the river.

Not the biggest Farmer's Market--but it was the first outside date and it was April. But so much fun to stroll and soak up the friendly and laid-back atmosphere of Corvallis. Apparently, the time to show off your pooch. Oh, and the produce was outstanding!

The Farmer's Market in Corvallis is great for seeing people and being seen, for picking up fresh fruits and vegetables, tasting samples, choosing a bouquet of flowers, listening to music, grabbing breakfast or lunch, and just having a good time.

You can walk through here and snack your way through with tastes of locals foods and produce. I enjoy going here in the summer and picking up my weekly produce. I also love to get my breakfast cupcake at Rocket Queen. They have a maple bacon one that is YUMMO!What I don't love is the parking, the dogs and how close everything is. Sometimes it's a pain to get through with all the crowds, so the earlier you go the better.

Spending the summer in Corvallis (my hometown) we looked forward to visiting the Farmer's Market every Wednesday and Saturday. It was just a short walk from the house and a delight twice a week! The proprietors are amazing and booths well stocked with the most luscious bounty I have ever seen. We always leave with an armful of fruits and vegetables. You would think my partner and I are not slim, the way we search out great desserts (something hard to find), you know, like grandma used to bake. We love fresh local fruit desserts, as in pies and cobblers- something we don't get in Arizona. At the Farmers Market in Corvallis we found the best pies I have ever had- outside of a grandmother's pies (who passed away years ago). With an amazing variety of berries you will never taste anything so wonderful. The Marionberry was a winner and the most sold. The price was steep- at $15.00 a pie, and $5.00 for a small pie. But before you balk- let me say, they are worth every single penny! The crust was phenomenal and the filling indescribable. WOW! The best experience of my summer eating- bar none! The booth is Blue Raeven Farms, Amity Oregon. I am pretty sure I have the name correct- they were the only pie booth and from Amity (I am back in AZ now). My photos are from years past- but each visit is similar.

Eat at zia for the best breakfast burrito (and homemade tortillas) in town while shopping for local produce thats in season.
