Rocky Butte Farmers Market Launches Pop Up Market July 13, 2019
June 20, 2019, Portland, Ore – The Rocky Butte Farmers Market is thrilled to announce its inaugural event, a pop up market on Saturday, July 13, 2019 from 10am to 2pm at the Dharma Rain Zen Center, located at 8500 NE Siskiyou Street in Portland.
This pop up market is the culmination of two years of strategy development and planning after a group of neighbors in the Madison South, Roseway, and Sumner neighborhoods expressed interest in bringing a farmers market to the area. The closest market is currently in Montavilla on Sundays (seasonal).
“When we asked neighbors over a year ago if they would support a farmers market, the answer was an overwhelming, ‘Yes!’,” said Ben Cutler, President of the Rocky Butte Farmers Market. “Our intention for the market is to unite communities across NE 82nd Avenue, feature neighborhood farmers, artists and entrepreneurs, and connect customers to healthy, delicious, locally grown and prepared foods. We are so happy that Dharma Rain Zen Center has agreed to host our inaugural season of Pop Up Markets this year, too.”
