Lower Valley Farmers Market

Whether you're looking for fresh vegetables, locally raised proteins, or handcrafted goods, Lower Valley Farmers Market in Wallowa, Oregon offers a curated selection from area farmers and food makers.

Farmers markets like Lower Valley Farmers Market represent a fundamentally different way of accessing food compared to a supermarket. When you shop at Lower Valley Farmers Market, the person selling you tomatoes is often the same person who planted them — a level of transparency and traceability that industrial food systems cannot replicate. That direct relationship is what draws many Wallowa residents to the market week after week.

The selection at Lower Valley Farmers Market changes as the growing season progresses. Early in the season, expect cool-weather crops like salad greens, radishes, and herbs. Peak summer brings the widest variety — tomatoes, peppers, corn, stone fruits, and squash. By fall, the market shifts toward storage vegetables, apples, pears, preserves, and baked goods that make use of seasonal harvests. This seasonal rhythm is something you feel at a farmers market in a way you never do in a grocery store.

Lower Valley Farmers Market is committed to serving all members of the Wallowa community. SNAP/EBT benefits are accepted, meaning nutrition assistance recipients can use their benefits to buy fresh, locally grown produce and other eligible items directly from vendors. These programs reflect a broader commitment to food access that many farmers market organizers across Oregon have prioritized in recent years.
