Creswell Farmers' Market

Siuslaw Bank shows up here as more than a name on a sponsor line: it has provided free Sno-Cones at the market and returned with more, tying a small-town treat to the Tuesday market routine. Creswell Farmers' Market runs at 64 W. Oregon Ave., at First and Oregon, bringing together produce vendors, honey sellers, egg producers, meat, baked goods, music, and occasional demonstrations in a compact downtown setting. The season starts on Cinco de Mayo, May 5, and stretches into late October, giving Creswell a regular weekly stop for farm goods and market-day programming.

Why it matters locally

Emily Horton’s invitation for people with produce to sell, music to play, crafts to sell, nonprofit organizations to promote, and other goods or services makes this market broader than a produce pickup. That mix is visible in the market’s own rhythm: vendors bring vegetables, fruit, honey, eggs, pork, beef, cobblers, and cookies, while Tuesday dates also feature dancers, musicians, recycling educators, and hands-on demonstrations.

Local partnerships deepen that role. BRING Recycling, Lane County Waste Management, and the Lane County Master Recycler Program have all appeared at market with information and give-aways, while Siuslaw Bank has sponsored free Sno-Cones. In Creswell, the Tuesday market functions as a weekly place where food sales and civic participation happen side by side.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix centers on produce first, then branches into honey, eggs, meat, and a few prepared foods that still stay close to farm ingredients. Several farms are described in simple, direct terms, which gives the market a practical feel: this is a Tuesday stop for what growers and makers are bringing that week.

• -Browse Cottonwood Runn for a wide variety of greens, vegetables, and other seasonal goodies.
• -Pick up greens, vegetables, and other seasonal goodies from CK Farm.
• -Find fruits and vegetables from Ruby and Amber’s Farm.
• -Look for vegetables and fruits at Highwire Farm.
• -Buy honey from Bear Mountain Honey.
• -Check Tangled Orchard Farm for orchard-farm produce.
• -Add eggs from Eggcentric Gardens to your market bag.
• -Choose honeycomb, beeswax candles, and straight-up honey from HumbleBee Honey.
• -Shop TJ’s Big Horse Farm for pork and eggs, with beef recently added.
• -Save room for TessaRoo Farms, which brings apples, carrots, kohlrabi and other vegetables, plus cobblers and cookies made with local ingredients.

Tuesday programming can be part of the visit too. Market dates have included bobbin lace demonstrations, all-ages dance events with Sally Jenkins and Moveable Feet, live music from Tim Jenkins, Balladeer, an education presentation from BRING Recycling’s education coordinator Brett Jacobs, and the October 28 Pumpkenstein event with tandem storytelling, mini pumpkin decorating, and candy.

Know before you go

No dogs is the clearest rule to plan around here. The market sets up at 64 W. Oregon Ave., at First and Oregon in Creswell, and it runs on Tuesdays from 4 to 6pm during the May-to-October season, so this is an early-evening stop rather than a morning market. Restrooms are not available, another practical detail worth factoring into a longer downtown errand run.

If you are hoping to catch more than produce, Tuesday timing matters in another way: several special activities and performances have been scheduled specifically on market Tuesdays, including music, dance, demonstrations, and educational guests. Emily Horton is listed as the market manager and contact for selling, performing, or participating.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Creswell Farmers' Market, an important option for shoppers planning to use food benefits on Tuesday market trips. The market also lists its payment methods clearly, which helps when you're splitting purchases across produce, honey, eggs, meat, and baked goods from different vendors.
