About Us

The Tigard Area Farmers Market was started around 1993 by the Tigard Chamber of Commerce and incorporated in 1997. The market is now an independent public benefit corporation. The market has a board of directors, made up of local business people that provide direction, skills and amusement.

Originally, the market was held on Saturday at the Portland Clinic parking lot on Oleson and Hall. Several years ago, The Portland Clinic started operating on Saturdays and needed the use of the parking area for their patients. We had the choice of having to find a new site or changing operations to Sunday. We put out questionnaires at the market and received support from our customers that helped us decide to make the change. The decision to hold the market on Sunday was also made to facilitate shopping for those who find it difficult to frequent the local markets held on Saturday. In 2006, the market moved again to the site in the Washington Square Too parking lot. The market was larger and the parking much better. In 2009, we have moved again, this time to the parking lot of  Young's Funeral Home in Tigard.  This location bring us and our vendors vast visibility being on Hwy 99. 

All the people involved in the endeavor, staff, board, vendors and volunteers, are very proud of the Tigard Farmer's Market and continue to help the operation grow and become a source of quality produce, crafts and entertainment in the local area. Your support by visiting the operation will help it continue to meet in its original goals.

Our ongoing commitment is to bring fresh, locally produced fruits, vegetables, plants, food and crafts to the community; to support local farmers, and to provide a community gathering place.
