Vendor Events in The Dalles, OR

Located at 5th & Union Street in The Dalles, Oregon, this weekly farmers market runs Saturday mornings from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM throughout the growing season, from early June through early October. Like most farmers markets in the region, The Dalles Farmers' Market serves as a direct connection between local producers and home cooks, gardeners, and food enthusiasts looking for fresh, seasonal offerings. The market operates in the heart of Wasco County, drawing both regular shoppers from the community and visitors passing through the Columbia River Gorge area during summer months. Vendors at The Dalles Farmers' Market typically feature the produce and products you'd expect from a Pacific Northwest farmers market during this time of year: fresh vegetables and fruits at peak ripeness, baked goods from local bakers, farmstead cheeses, free-range eggs, fresh herbs, and cut flowers. Many vendors focus on organic production methods, making this a good destination for shoppers prioritizing chemical-free options. Beyond food, you'll find crafts and handmade goods that complement the market's local, artisan focus. The market welcomes a wide range of shoppers and actively supports food access through multiple payment options. In addition to cash and credit cards, The Dalles Farmers' Market accepts SNAP and EBJ benefits, WIC, WIC Cash, and Senior FMNP vouchers. This inclusive approach means the market serves diverse community members and makes fresh, local food accessible to families at different income levels. Saturday mornings during peak summer are typically the busiest times, so arriving early or mid-morning can affect your shopping experience. If you're a vendor considering this market, you'll be reaching customers who specifically seek out local producers during Oregon's harvest season. The four-month run gives you a solid window to build relationships with regular shoppers and establish your presence in The Dalles community.
