About the Market
Background
The oldest established farmers' market in Oregon, this market began in 1972 and has been a staple in the community ever since. Located at the Armory parking lot, it has become a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike.
Practices
Vendors at the market are required to ensure that 90% of their items are homegrown or handmade, emphasizing a commitment to local production and craftsmanship. The market features produce from nearby farms, bedding plants, and nursery stock suited to the local climate.
The Rest
In addition to fresh produce, the market offers a variety of value-added items such as smoked fish, handmade breads and pastries, jams, and dried and fresh flowers. The market's opening day in May coincides with Newport's Loyalty Days celebration, featuring a parade and additional festivities throughout the weekend.
