Mapping the Markets
View Portland Farmers' Markets in a larger map
OK, say it's Thursday and I want freshly dug organic turnips (or asparagus or arugula). What are my options?
That kind of information is critical, and it's just too silly in this internet-fueled, get-it-now culture that there is no consumer-friendly list of local farmers' markets with maps, hours, links and dates. So I decided to make my own. And now you, too, can get a complete schedule for Portland's markets, and a map of where to find them, right here at GSNW! Woo hoo!

Thanks! Adding Sherwood, too. Keep me abreast of any others out there.
For a newcomer to the area, this is a big help. Thanks

Thanks, GL! And as an old-timer here, I'm finding it helpful, too…so much going on!
I think there's one in West Linn.
What would be great is if there were a Twitter account that would send an update each day to notify which are open.
Perhaps some enterprising person will undertake that.
Actually, Eamon Molloy, Hillsdale Farmers' Market manager, is doing just that. You can follow him on Twitter at @efbm and get a daily reminder. (Thanks Eamon!)
Great tip - thanks so much!
Thanks, Eli! It's all about the sharing…
