The 2024 Season is starting March 30th! 9AM-1PM.

It All Starts With a Seed

A stalk of corn waiting for harvest started as a seed; our community’s the same. We’re planting the seed of brighter tomorrows today. The Newport Farmers’ Market gives local vendors and farmers a place to come together and celebrate good, hard, honest work – the work done by the hands of our neighbors. Come out and help us grow!

History

“In 1978 the Farmer-to-Consumer Direct Marketing Act directed the Cooperative Extension Service to become involved in farm-direct marketing by helping to organize local farmers markets.  Newport Farmers Market opened that year, one of the first in the state to do so.  A handful of local farmers gathered at the Fairgrounds and sold out all of their produce in two hours!  The Lincoln County Small Farmers Association (LCSFA), which operates the Newport Farmers Market,  was formed the following year with the help of the Oregon State University Extension Service and by the second season included 40 memberships. Today the LCSFA has an active membership of approximately 60 vendors.”
