The Beaverton Farmers' Market is one of the most popular and exciting farmers' markets in Oregon. There are nearly 200 vendors, selling a wide variety of produce and agricultural products. We highly recommend visiting. Listed below are two events at the market this summer.
(The following information furnished by Beaverton Farmers' Market)
As the largest all-agricultural market in the state, the Beaverton Farmer’s Market is the perfect place for families to spend the day. In addition to an abundant selection of Oregon’s best produce, meat, fish, flowers, plants, and handcrafted goods, the market offers live music and educational tours free to the community. Next door to the Beaverton Library and City Park with a playground, fountain, and picnic tables, there is ample room to play, relax, or enjoy a fresh market meal in the summer sun.
On Saturday, June 18, 2011, Beaverton Farmer’s Market celebrates seniors with a day devoted to the health of individuals 55 years and better. Resources will be available for seniors as well as information for caretakers and family members. Speak with Washington County Disability, Aging and Veterans Services, Partners for Hunger Free Oregon about nutrition and food support, Elsie Stuhr Center for fitness assessments, Layton Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease Center at OHSU, Elders in Action and Road Scholars for social opportunities and trips, and Discover Ride Connection for transportation for seniors and people with disabilities. Market Tours are available at 10:00, 11:00, and 12:00. Meet at the information booth.
