Strolling past booths overflowing with fresh produce and buying local products directly from growers and makers is a quintessential Oregon activity. Oregon farmers are ready to greet you with the fruits — and vegetables — of their labor at one of the many farmers markets around the state. The **Oregon Farmers Markets Association** has a list of markets, plus an **easy-to-use map.** Below we’ve highlighted a few locations in each of Oregon’s seven regions.

It happens at **The Redd on Salmon Street** in Southeast Portland.

### Mt. Hood and the Columbia Gorge
