Portland Farmers Market - Kenton

The Oregon Farm Direct Nutrition Program is accepted at Portland Farmers Market - Kenton, alongside SNAP, Double Up Food Bucks, and Produce Match, giving this North Portland market a strong food-access role in its short summer season. Kenton Farmers Market was established in 2012 and is located in the heart of a historic neighborhood in North Portland. At N Denver and McClellan, the market brings together farms, fisheries, bakeries, prepared-food makers, and specialty producers under the Portland Farmers Market umbrella.

Why it matters locally

Kenton Farmers Market has operated in North Portland since 2012, giving this part of the city a seasonal outlet for locally grown, raised, sourced, and produced food. Portland Farmers Market describes its markets as strictly food-and-farms marketplaces, with vendors screened across farms, nurseries, bakeries, meat and seafood providers, cheese makers, and specialty food producers.

That matters here because the Kenton market also accepts SNAP, Double Up Food Bucks, Produce Match, and the Oregon Farm Direct Nutrition Program, connecting neighborhood shopping with multiple nutrition support programs. The result is a market shaped both by regional farm supply and by practical access to fresh food in North Portland.
