Oregon City Year-Round Farmers Market

Clean Eating Magazine singled out the Oregon City Year-Round Farmers Market as one of its 50 markets to watch, and the market keeps that national nod grounded in a very specific local setup at Clackamas Community College. The market runs at Green Lots #1 on Clairmont Drive, between S Beavercreek Road and N Douglas Loop, right next to the Horticulture Dept.. Its winter schedule is a defining feature: Saturday shopping continues through the colder months outdoors, rain or shine, giving Oregon City a regular farm market stop even when many markets scale back.

Why it matters locally

Clackamas Community College is more than a backdrop here; the market’s move to the campus places it in a recognizable Oregon City setting with Green Lots #1 and the Horticulture Dept. as part of the experience. The year-round structure also matters. Winter Market dates keep the Saturday market active from November into April, while November dates shift into a Harvest Market format and December dates become a Holiday Market, giving the season its own cadence rather than treating winter as an afterthought. The market’s recognition from the Oregon Farmers Market Association adds another local layer, with the organization naming it the 2019 Outstanding Large or Urban Market of the Year.

What you'll find there

This market’s published materials emphasize seasonal market formats more than a vendor roster, so what stands out most clearly is the way the Saturday lineup shifts with the calendar while staying in one place. Visitor notes point to a mix that can include starts, produce, beef, crafts, jewelry, mini-doughnuts, and breakfast burritos.

• -One visitor noted plant starts, fresh produce, local beef, crafts, mini-doughnuts, and breakfast burritos at the market.
• -Another visitor specifically mentioned One Lane Road at the market.
• -That same visitor also called out Morgen Barrett jewelry.

Seasonal events add extra shape, with Harvest Market dates in November, Holiday Market dates in December, a seed swap event in March, and Easter weekend highlights in spring.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which may affect your plan before you head to campus. Parking is one of the easier parts of visiting: the market notes ample parking around the market and college campus, including disabled parking and convenient ADA access. The setup is outdoors at Clackamas Community College in Green Lots #1, off Beavercreek Road and next to the Horticulture Dept., so aiming for that part of campus will get you closer than searching broadly for the college. Winter Market shopping continues rain or shine on Saturdays, a practical detail if you are planning a midwinter visit rather than a fair-weather stop.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at the Oregon City Year-Round Farmers Market, which makes the market usable for shoppers planning food purchases around that benefit. The market also flags payment details as clearly posted for visitors, so you can expect payment information to be part of the on-site setup rather than an afterthought.
