The Winter Market is located at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds, Newport, Oregon.
Have you ever been at the Newport Market and heard a bell ring, followed by wild cheering? If so, you've heard The Lemonade Project!
The Lemonade Project makes and sells fresh squeezed lemonade for $3 a glass during the summer markets. All proceeds and tips are used to match the money SNAP recipients spend from their card on fresh food at the Farmer's Market, up to $6 per person per Saturday. So their $6 can become $12 worth of farm fresh local produce!
We will serve lemonade every Saturday from May 25th to Aug 31st. It takes at least 4-5 volunteers to run the stand each Sat. On sunny days we need even more help to keep up with the demand!
Can you help us keep this amazing benefit afloat? We are looking for individuals, families, businesses or groups who are willing to spend a few hours on a Saturday having fun and helping their community thrive. All proceeds go right back into the matching fund. The project is entirely staffed and managed by volunteers, and our only expenses are the ingredients to make and serve the lemonade itself. Even the space is donated by the Newport Farmer's Market. The only thing we're missing is YOU!
For more information or to volunteer, please check out our Facebook page at The Lemonade Project or contact Amy Greer at Amygreer@peak.org or 541-961-6814.
Volunteers make and sell fresh squeezed lemonade. Proceeds fund a program to help low income S.N.A.P. shoppers buy produce at the Newport Farmers Market.

We will be at Newport Farmers Market tomorrow!!! Strawberry baskets, plant starts, and eggs.
Our chickens are always supplemented, in addition to foraging, with ORGANIC, WHOLE GRAIN food.
Why do we choose whole grain and pay extra for it? The natural oils and nutrients of the grains are destroyed during the heat process of making standard pellets or crumble. Why waste money on organic feed when all that is destroyed? We've done our research. It makes happier, healthier chickens, and better eggs too!
Come see us tomorrow 9-1!
