The Farmers Market Quest was born in late 2021 when Tanja and Morgan visited 13 markets in four states. In 2022, we plan to visit even more! We will reveal a new video every two weeks and hope you'll join us as a we travel to Farmers Markets and seek the best of the best.
When we visit a Farmers Market we are looking for wide varieties of fruits & veggies, packaged foods/goods, and prepared meals. But that's not all, we're looking for the best locations, easy parking, accessibility, friendly and knowledgeable vendors, and easy to find online information. Is the Farmers Market family friendly? Can you bring your dog? Is there a spot to picnic or a fun playground for the kids? And of course, can you find a clean bathroom?! And don't forget the X-Factor...we give bonuses for live music or entertainment, community information booths, craft vendors and the overall "vibe"!
We look forward to building a fun and collaborative community and hope you'll join us!
Hi Josh - thank you for the tip! Visiting Eugene made it clear that we needed to figure out pronunciation of places before making our videos. :) Thanks for watching!
Lane County Farmers Market is awesome for sure. Bring lots of cash though. I didn't know there were no crafts any longer. Oregon is ideal for growing food but the craftmanship and imagination of crafting venders was the reason I went. I now live else where and if I return i will definitely stop by. I wonder if Eugene has a craft fair to replace them at the Saturday market. ????
Hi Captain! Thank you for stopping by and watching our channel. Lane County Farmers Market is really great and one of the best selections of farm fresh products we've seen. Eugene does have a weekly craft market every Saturday. We have a video coming up soon for this market, but you can check out details on their website here: www.eugenesaturdaymarket.org
We agree, Marty! And next time you're in Eugene, go check out the Veneta Farmers Market not too far from there. We have a video preview of this fun market as well!
Hi Delores! Thanks for stopping by! It looks like the market in Florence, AL opens in May. You can find more info here: fma.alabama.gov/mapmarkets.aspx?County=LAUDERDALE&OrgType=Market
We had a nice walk through UO campus while we were there. Also enjoyed picnics along the Willamette River and the beach in Florence. We're really looking forward to coming back for the fair. Thanks for stopping by!
It's definitely one of our favorites. It's a great way to spend a Saturday morning. Hop on the freeway and check out the Midtown Farmers Market in Sacramento. Our video for this one comes out tomorrow!
What an interesting comment. I'm sure that many people here would love to visit a market with "too much vegetables". :) If you're interested in other markets with a larger variety of goods, stay tuned for our review of the Midtown Farmers Market in Sacramento coming soon!
That's probably a better question for the Market Director, but in our experience, most markets require their vendors to grow what they sell. Thanks for visiting!
I have moved from Honolulu since 1981 I did not go.back to visit. I plan to go the following year and I will visit Hawaii Island Airline witch I worked for.
Thank you for Visiting the Veneta Downtown Farmers Market, in Veneta Oregon !! WOW you captured the meaning of local food to local community members. Our Saturdays really are Lovely. Farmers Market Quest....perfect presentation, again Thank You.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly our pleasure!! We loved our time in Veneta and can’t wait to return. The hospitality there was second to none and the town is absolutely charming. Check out our other videos and maybe it’ll inspire your own travels!
Stop by the Oregon Country Fair this year, July 8, 9 and 10, 2022 at the "old Renaissance Fairgrounds where Sunshine Daydream was made." While not a famers market we are a very large craft/art market with music and vaudeville, in the woods outside Veneta Oregon. Thanks for the reference in your Veneta Farmer's market video.
Great presentation of this Farmer's Market! We've never been to it but will have to check it out, thanks to this video. We'd love to join you on one of these quests! 😊
