The 2018 season marks the second year for the Bailey Hill Farmers’ Market, located at 3190 Bailey Hill Road. This West Eugene farmers’ market, located adjacent to the newly renovated Bailey Hill Market store, runs each Wednesday evening from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m from May 30th to October 3rd. Stop by and check it out when you’re in the neighborhood!

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 26th through October 6th. 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 adjacent to a soon-to-be-constructed performance stage where live music can be heard most Saturdays during the market season.

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.

Many of our produce vendors also participate in the Oregon Farm Direct Nutrition Program, a program that connects eligible seniors and WIC families with the freshest local produce available and the wonderful farmers who grow our food. Participating farmers earned $1.4 million in FDNP sales in 2017! The program is funded by the USDA and administered by the Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Health Authority. FDNP recipients receive green $4 pre-printed checks to spend with authorized farmers who sell their own produce at farm stands and farmers’ markets. At both of our markets, farmers that are authorized to accept FDNP checks will match the value of your checks, enabling FDNP program recipients to double their purchases! FDNP recipients are nutritionally at-risk young families enrolled in the WIC (Women, Infants & Children) program, and eligible low-income seniors. A variety of fresh, nutritious, unprepared, locally grown fruits, vegetables and herbs may be purchased with FDNP coupons.
