Welcome to the 2025 market season! It’s presented, once again, by the fine people at Cascade Hasson Sotheby’s International Realty. We are so excited about our market turning 18 this year! For this community, in so many ways, we see this market as a sudden “burst” celebrating Summer.
In our Market Guide, you’ll discover everything we cherish about this vibrant community gathering. Every Saturday, the market comes alive—brimming with color, filled with music and laughter, rich with the scent of fresh herbs and sun-warmed fruit. It’s a tribute to local flavor, healthy living, and shared joy—woven into one unforgettable morning. There’s simply no better way to wake up on a Saturday than with the heartbeat of the market calling you in. Come for the freshness, stay for the magic.
We’re deeply grateful to our farmers, food artisans, and loyal shoppers who make this market thrive. Your support not only sustains local producers but also brings life and connection to our community and neighboring NWX businesses.
For 18 years, this market has nurtured a farm-to-table lifestyle—connecting people with their food, supporting small businesses, and celebrating the vibrant spirit of our neighborhood. Join us every Saturday, 10am–2pm, from May 31 to September 27, for fresh food, handmade goods, and great company. We can't wait to welcome you!
A HUGE THANK YOU
BEHIND THE SCENES...
What goes into hosting a farmers market of this scale? It starts with a visionary partner like West Bend Property Company, which began supporting the market 18 years ago—providing staffing, resources, and marketing to help bring this vibrant space to life. Behind the scenes are years of leadership, plus a dedicated operations crew that’s up by 5am to close streets, set up tents, tables, umbrellas, linens, signage, and zero waste stations—and return it all to order by the end of the day.
A dedicated market director and her team handle everything from vendor recruitment and outreach to on-the-ground coordination, greeting over 200 vendors each week with a smile. Permits are secured, sponsors nurtured, and every detail tended to by a committed team. This market runs on vision, grit, and heart—and we’re lucky to have all three.
It’s not always glamorous, but it’s always worth it. We do it because we love it. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
EVERY SATURDAY MAY 31
WHY LOCAL MATTERS MORE THAN EVER
In a world of fast fashion and next-day shipping, supporting local artisans is a powerful act of sustainability. When you shop from a local maker, you're not only choosing quality over quantity—you’re supporting real people, preserving craft traditions, and reducing environmental impact. Choosing local isn't just a trend—it's a conscious lifestyle that keeps creativity, connection, and community alive.
you at the market!
HIGH DESERT FOOD AND FARM ALLIANCE EVERYONE DESERVES GOOD FOOD
The High Desert Food and Farm Alliance (HDFFA) is dedicated to supporting a community-based food system in Central Oregon. Again, this year, HDFFA will collect fresh food donations at the market to help augment non-perishable food items in the pantry system. Currently, there is a push by the Oregon Food Bank to increase the number of fresh local foods available at regional food banks and to partner pantries by 50% over the next five years.
In Central Oregon, HDFFA is partnering with NeighborImpact to help drive this change. Among their many programs, they operate the food distribution center for multiple pantries and shelves in the region. The collection point at the NorthWest Crossing Saturday Farmers Market will also serve as a location for backyard gardeners to bring their extra garden vegetables. Please join us in supporting this very worthy endeavor for our Community!
