Celebrate our 10th Anniversary in 2019! Our market at the Spencer Creek Grange will continue to take place each Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and this year will run from May 25th (TBD) through October 12th. (TBD) We set up behind the Grange, in the shade of mature pine and fir trees. The Spencer Creek Grange is located at 86013 Lorane Highway at the corner of McBeth Road in Eugene.
Instead of commercial farmers, our sellers are largely backyard growers and hobby farmers offering locally grown fresh fruits, vegetables, pasture-raised meats, eggs, nursery plants, plant starts and much more. Our markets also includes many crafters and food artisans. The market at the Grange features the Open Source Kitchen, a licensed outdoor restaurant where unique buffet-style lunches are available with outdoor seating where live music can be heard most Saturdays during the market season.
Check out our Market Reservations page during the season for a weekly preview of what you can expect to find at each market:

Both markets accepts SNAP (Oregon Trail Cards), which can be used to buy vegetables, fruits, meats, fish, nuts, honey, bread, grains and edible plant starts and seeds. Also, thanks to a generous matching grant from Helios Resource Network, both markets have joined the Double Up Food Bucks program, giving SNAP customers an opportunity to double their SNAP dollars by purchasing fresh, dried or frozen whole or cut fruits and vegetables from participating vendors (edible plant starts and grains are not eligible). Up to $10 in tokens will be matched with $10 in Food Bucks. This means you can get up to $20 worth of food by drawing just $10 from your SNAP account.
