“Farmers’ market enthusiasts can expect to see their favorite vendors return and can enjoy this year 22 new merchants, who have been tightly juried to capture the quality of our markets along with strict COVD-19 safety training,” according to Board President Jon Steiger from By George Farms.

The Rogue Valley Growers & Crafters Market creates a local opportunity for people to shop for their essentials in an open outdoor air environment, buy fresh, local produce, fresh-cut flowers, artisan foods and handcrafted gifts, with COVID-19 safety measures for shoppers, vendors, and staff.

“At our farmers’ markets, you can see firsthand the farmers and makers that have sown, raised, cared for and harvested or made your food. So many of our customers greet old friends and make new ones. Eating local is such a positive way to staying healthy, nourishing the people you love and supporting our community,” shared Executive Director Daria Land. “We are so grateful to have made it through our first COVID-19 season in 2020 and feel a large part of this achievement was due to the support of our Rogue Valley community. We look forward to serving you in 2021.”

Thank you again for your continued patronage and support. See you at the market and please mask up.
