It’s easy to select a farmers market on one criterion alone: which one is closest to home. That approach, though, would overlook the bounty at the dozen-plus farmers markets operating within Portland city limits. And while some markets are in business year-round—like the one where two chefs just spent $100 of our editorial budget—most are seasonal and ramping up right now. In an effort to help point new shoppers in the right direction, we reached out to each of the following urban markets and asked the manager which stand they think is most popular. The responses we received are included below.
