Upcoming Happenings at the Markets and beyond
Join us at our farmers’ markets for a great time! Enjoy cooking demos, gardening workshops, and family-friendly activities while supporting local farmers and small businesses. Check out our upcoming events below and plan your visit now!
Learning Takes Root
Farmers’ markets are community gathering spaces and places of informal learning. CAFM offers a limited amount of space to events and activities on most market days. Our preferred partners are other nonprofits, OSU, local governments and their contractors, and other community events.
We focus on subject areas that include food and nutrition, gardening, agriculture, human and animal health, art, history, reading, soil and water conservation/quality, and other science relevant to the natural world. We strongly encourage organizations to propose interactive events.
