EASTERN OREGON — Farmers markets are sprouting up around Eastern Oregon, offering the chance to find the freshest fruits and vegetables, as well as baked goods, coffee, local meat, art, sweet treats and so much more.

Farmers markets are the best way to connect to your food — in most cases, you can visit with the producer and learn about the offerings, whether you’re buying juicy tomatoes or beef.

Here’s a look at the farmers markets around Eastern Oregon.
