Camas Farmer’s Market Kicks Off 2017 Season

The Camas Farmer’s Market kicked off its 2017 season Wednesday with an expanded number of vendors, large crowds, and good music.

Located in front of the Camas Library on 4th Avenue between Everett and Franklin streets, with the roads blocked, the market featured several fresh produce booths, multiple eateries, treats, and numerous local vendors offering an array of products and services.

Open from 3-7 pm on Wednesdays from June 7-October 4, the market continues to grow.

The market is a celebration of the region’s agricultural bounty brought to the charm that is downtown Camas. Freshly harvested seasonal produce, flowers, natural products, and a variety of prepared and hot foods fill the market. Guests enjoy chef demos, healthy living and gardening information, kids’ activities, and live local music.

The mission of the Camas Farmer’s Market is:

• To create an agriculturally based farmer’s market in downtown Camas that provides access to local, sustainable foods,
• To champion and support local farms and food producers,
• To foster connections between farmers / producers and the community, including vulnerable populations,
• To provide education and inspiration for growing, preparing and eating healthy foods,
• To create a permanent space to bring our community together, and
• To work with community organizations in furtherance of our mission.

Guests visit the Truly Scrumptious booth at the Camas Farmer’s Market.

Local farmers bring their bounty to the market each week.
