The Dalles Farmers' Market

Golden Wheat Harvest Sponsors are part of the support behind The Dalles Farmers' Market, a Saturday market that runs at 5th & Union Street in The Dalles from June through October. The market pairs a defined downtown location with a regular weekly rhythm, giving shoppers a set place to shop each week during the main season. Its own materials also point to live music, a vendor directory, weekly vendor maps, and weekly market offerings, which suggests a market built around both shopping and staying awhile.

Why it matters locally

The Dalles Farmers' Market publishes weekly market offerings that show what produce is available during the season, and those updates usually go up on Thursdays so shoppers can plan before Saturday. The same fresh sheet also includes meat, cheese, and eggs, making the market a place where a grocery list can cover more than produce alone.

The market's own pages organize the season with a vendor directory, a weekly vendor map, market performances, and a calendar, so the market functions as a recurring local storefront rather than a one-off event. Support from named sponsors including Golden Wheat Harvest Sponsors and Gorge Design Studio adds another local layer to how the market is sustained.

What you'll find there

The market's own materials emphasize a changing weekly mix instead of a fixed list, with produce tracked week by week and staples beyond produce included on the fresh sheet. Its public pages also highlight the broader market setup around vendors, performances, and a weekly map.

• -Shop weekly produce listed on the market's Thursday-updated fresh sheet.
• -Find meat, cheese, and eggs alongside produce on the same weekly offerings sheet.
• -Use the vendor directory and weekly vendor map to see who is set up that week.

The market also schedules live music on Saturdays, with a musical lineup that includes Lew Jones, Andrew Kraus, Joshua Cox, Tyson Huckins, Sherry Walston, Tony Fuentes, PaMike Duo, Wiley Coyote, The Ditch Diggers, Ted Horwitz, Kyle Miller, North Shore Sparkle, Musically Unstable, John Donovan, Bob Bailey, Jamba Marimba, and River Rats.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the detail most likely to change a Saturday plan before you head to 5th & Union Street. The market runs on Saturdays from 9am to 1pm during a June-to-October season, so this is a seasonal shop rather than a year-round stop.

If you like to plan meals before arriving, the market posts weekly offerings on Thursdays, including produce plus meat, cheese, and eggs, which gives you a preview of what may be available that weekend. City Park is the named nearby landmark, useful for orienting yourself once you're in The Dalles. Restrooms are not available on site, so that is another practical detail to handle before arrival.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at The Dalles Farmers' Market. The market also identifies payment methods clearly, which helps shoppers plan how to pay before arriving. Combined with the weekly fresh sheet, that makes it easier to build a grocery trip around seasonal produce, meat, cheese, and eggs.
