About this event
Every Thursday afternoon from June through early October, locals and visitors gather at the corner of 12th Street and Exchange Street in Astoria for this weekly farmers market that brings together regional producers and growers. The River People Farmers Market operates during the peak growing season when Oregon's Clatsop County farms and producers are at their most abundant, making it an ideal time for vendors selling fresh produce, vegetables, herbs, and seasonal specialties to connect with their community. The market draws a steady crowd of home cooks, families, and residents looking for direct access to local food sources. You'll find farmers and growers selling fresh vegetables and produce picked at peak ripeness, along with baked goods from local bakeries, fresh eggs from local farms, and regional seafood offerings that reflect Astoria's coastal location. Herb vendors, flower growers, and value-added producers round out the typical lineup. The atmosphere during these Thursday evening hours tends to be relaxed and social, with shoppers often lingering to chat with vendors about what's in season or how to prepare particular ingredients. The market actively supports accessibility and nutrition programs by accepting SNAP/EBT benefits, WIC vouchers, WIC Cash, and Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program funds. This commitment means shoppers across different income levels can participate in the market. Many vendors offer certified organic products alongside conventional offerings, giving shoppers choices about how they want to source their food. The evening timing from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM works well for people stopping by after work or school, and the downtown Astoria location puts the market within easy reach of the community. For vendors, River People Farmers Market represents a established weekly opportunity to build relationships with regular customers throughout the summer and fall season. The market's consistent schedule and focus on local food production make it a reliable venue for farmers, bakers, producers, and growers looking to sell directly to consumers in the Astoria area.
