Spencer Creek Community Growers' Market

Spencer Creek Community Growers' Market centers its mission on giving neighbors a place to sell locally produced agricultural items, with an emphasis on sustainable and healthy growing practices and support for local food production through community fellowship. The market meets at the Spencer Creek Grange in Eugene and runs on Saturdays during its May-to-October season. That mission-forward framing shapes the experience here: a weekly market built around nearby growers, food access programs, and a calendar that regularly folds in live music.

Why it matters locally

The market’s stated purpose is unusually direct: it is committed to providing a venue for neighbors to sell their locally produced agricultural items while emphasizing sustainable and healthy growing practices. That local focus is paired with practical support for food production efforts through the fellowship of community, making the market about both sales and participation.

Its partnerships also point to a strong local-support structure. The market has received grants from the Upper Willamette Soil and Water Conservation District, Helios Resource Network, Willamette Farm and Food Coalition, and the Farmers Market Fund. Those connections sit alongside programs that stretch food dollars at the market itself, including SNAP, Double Up Food Bucks, and participation by many produce vendors in the Oregon Farm Direct Nutrition Program.

What you'll find there

The named vendor roster is concise, and it reads as a market that mixes produce, pantry staples, mushrooms, and eggs with a steady stream of music programming. Rather than a long catalog, the lineup points to a smaller market where individual booths and weekly performances shape the visit.

• -Find Market Info & Get Fungi LLC listed at the market, linking general market information with a fungi-focused vendor presence.

• -Look for Produce Pals on the vendor lineup.

Live music is part of the market calendar. Opening Day on May 16 is described as featuring musical guests, including Bass ‘N Reeds, Dakota Harris, and Harold and Annette. Other Saturdays bring performers such as Ally Rae, Elias & Cassie with Dale Lee, Bass ‘N Reeds, and Hydrogen Jukebox, while Youth Music Day on June 13 welcomes students from Sean's Music Study and Jen Sennett Music.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest visit rule to plan around before heading out. The market is set up behind the Spencer Creek Grange at 86013 Lorane Highway, at the corner of McBeth Road, so the Grange is the landmark to watch for when you arrive.

Restrooms are not available on site. If you need a point person, Alan is identified as the market manager, and the market also lists him as membership manager. The season runs from May 16 through October 3, giving this market a defined warm-season window rather than year-round operation.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP is accepted here through Oregon Trail Cards, and the market participates in Double Up Food Bucks with token matching that lets SNAP customers double their SNAP dollars when purchasing eligible items. Many produce vendors also participate in the Oregon Farm Direct Nutrition Program, and the market states it will match $4 coupons spent with Farm Direct Dollars. A market currency guide also explains purchases made with SNAP, Double Up Food Bucks, and Farm Direct Vouchers.
