The Corvallis Indoor Winter Market opens Jan. 14 and runs every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Benton County Fairgrounds. If you are closer to Newport, there’s also an indoor winter market at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds. Both have a presence on FaceBook and elsewhere on the web. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6QUvmbLSc4
Musician Robert Peckyno ran his video recording device up a pole attached to the music tent on the Helen Berg Plaza where he captured comings and goings at 1st & Jackson for a few hours. He then condensed the results and set them to music. Enjoy! Check the right hand links for a complete vendor list, product search and interactive maps for each of our three markets! All of these features also are available in a top link under Interactive Maps plus Product Search. Please tell your friends that the Wednesday farmers’ market for 2011 will be at 1st and Jackson from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., NOT on the south end and NOT afternoon/evening. We’re concerned that there might be a lot of confused people wandering around the old site. The sewer project that forces the move and hours change is not yet obvious. Links to three separate interactive maps of our farmers’ markets are on a new page of this site. Stall assignments are a work in progress. Your browser’s back button might not work to leave these links.

We promised to open applications by March 1 — two weeks earlier than in past years — but it seems likely we will be able to open them this week. Even before we accept applications, vendors can register with ManageMyMarket.com and complete the Common Vendor Application that is shared with all participating farmers’ markets. HERE is the link for CAFM on ManageMyMarket’s site. You also will find this link on the Information for Vendors page of locallygrown.org. |
