Community Support,
Vendor Dedication
Highlight Five Years of Success
The Pendleton Farmers Market was founded in 2002 to provide an open-air farmers market and community gathering place. Since its beginning, the market has been committed to offering fresh produce and quality hand-made crafts to its patrons while providing a business opportunity to its vendors. Some of our produce vendors travel over 120 miles (one way!) to participate in our market each Friday during the season.
Thanks to strong community support
and vendor dedication, the Pendleton Farmers Market has earned the
reputation as the premier Friday evening market in eastern Oregon. Surveys
conducted by PFM volunteers have consistently shown patron traffic into the
market between 1,000 and 1,500 people during the 4 hour operating period.
Thank you supporter's of the market!!
