The 2011 Buckman Neighborhood Farmers Market Opens Thursday May 5th! May 5, 2011

The market is welcoming new vendors for the 2011 season and offering Fresh Exchange, the community-based nutrition incentive program hosted by Portland Farmers Market. The program provides a dollar-for-dollar match (up to $5) to SNAP participants using their EBT cards to purchase $1 tokens to spend on fresh food at the market. The market will also feature cooking classes for kids as well as canning classes.
