The Bend Farmers Market returns to downtown Bend on Wednesday, May 6, ushering in another season of fresh food, community connection, and lively Wednesdays in Brooks Alley, just off Drake Park. The market brings together local farmers, ranchers, bakers, and artisan food producers for shoppers eager to enjoy the freshest flavors of the season.
The Bend Farmers Market is a true farmers market dedicated to supporting the viability of local farmers, ranchers, and food producers who grow, raise, and create food in Oregon, with a strong emphasis on Central Oregon agriculture.
Visitors can expect a wide variety of seasonal produce, pasture-raised meats, eggs, locally made cheeses, fresh flowers, baked goods, pantry staples, and handcrafted food products. Each Wednesday offers a changing snapshot of the high desert growing season and an opportunity to meet the people who produce the region’s food firsthand.
“We have been hard at work planting and cultivating food for what will be our eighth season vending at the Bend Farmers Market,” said Ashley Thompson of Sungrounded Farm. “We hope to see you there to support our amazing community of local producers and celebrate the beginning of the high desert growing season with us.”
Beyond shopping, the market has become a weekly gathering place where neighbors connect, families spend time together, and visitors enjoy one of Bend’s favorite summer traditions.
“Small acts like attending the farmers market each week, eating nourishing food, and making community are what our collective souls really need right now,” said Megan Kellner-Rode, co-owner of Boundless Farmstead.
“If you’re looking for truly local, seasonal food produced in Central Oregon, come to the Bend Farmers Market,” said Courtney Schuur of North 44 Farm.
The Bend Farmers Market welcomes shoppers using EBT/SNAP benefits and offers a $20 weekly match through the Double Up Food Bucks program for fresh fruits and vegetables, along with a $10 weekly Protein Perks match for cheese, meat, poultry, eggs and seafood.
The market runs every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., May 6 through October 14, 2026, in Brooks Alley in downtown Bend.
