6 Tips for Shopping at the Tigard Farmers Market

1. GET THERE EARLY.

For the best selection of produce, you will want to get to the market early. We open at 9AM. The more later in the day there is less of a selection.

2. BRING A REUSABLE BAG.

With all the yummy goodies you will be taking home, remember to bring a reusable shopping bag with you. It will make your shopping experience much easier.

If you do not have one or forget yours, the Tigard Farmers Market sells reusable bags at the information booth for $2. We also have wagons that you can use at no charge while shopping around the market.

2. BRING CASH.

Not all of our market vendors accept credit/ debit cards. Remember to bring cash with you in small denominations.

If you forget or run out of money, no worries. We have market tokens available for purchase. They are in $5 denominations and act as cash at the market. There is a $1 service fee. We also accept EBT. Thanks to New Seasons, we are able to match your token purchase with EBT up to $40.

4. GET TO KNOW THE VENDORS.

We have a great group of vendors at the market. Stop and get to know them. They have great stories and love to get to know the community. Don’t be afraid to ask vendors questions about their products. They are more than happy to answer and questions you may have.

5. SHOP AROUND.

Take a look at all of our great vendors. They are all unique in their own way. We have 3 large farms that come to the market each week.

6. CHECK THE EVENTS CALENDAR

Through out the market season we have many different special events going on at the market. It is anything from blood drives to carnivals. Check out our calendar to see what events are coming up.
