Attn: North Portland! There’s a New Farmer’s Market in Kenton
Posted April 11th, 2012
From the now former Interstate Farmer’s Market Board:
“After seven wonderful years of bringing fresh food to the residents of North Portland, the volunteers who poured their time and energy into the Interstate Farmer’s Market decided to bring the market to an end. Your support of our local farmers and food producers was always appreciated and they enjoyed the opportunity to serve such loyal customers.
Although the Interstate Farmer’s Market won’t be around this season, we are delighted to announce that Portland Farmers Market will be opening a new market nearby in the Kenton neighborhood this June. Below you will find a few details about this market:
- WHEN: Fridays, 3-7pm, June 1 through September 28
- WHERE: In the heart of Kenton district in North Portland on N. McClellan Street at Denver Avenue. Map it
- WHAT: Up to 35 vendor stalls filled with fresh, peak-of-season produce, proteins, baked goods and other artisan food products in a festive, street-fair atmosphere, complete with musical entertainment.
To all the Interstate Farmers Market shoppers, we invite you to hop on the MAX to join the Friday fun and find fresh produce just 5 stops away from the Overlook Park Station! There will also be parking nearby for those who drive.”
This is a really great opportunity for the residents of North Portland to get access to fresh produce and other foods. It can feel like a bit of a food desert up there, so one can guess that this will be a welcome summer addition to the neighborhood!
