EASTERN OREGON — As the weather heats up for summer, farmers markets are popping up all over Eastern Oregon with fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, flowers, honey, art, food, music and so much more.

This year, make it a goal to visit as many local markets as possible — each one has different offerings.

The Echo & Stanfield Market are joining forces for a combined monthly market on the third Saturday of each month.

The event will be held at Bard Park, Highway 395 and Roosevelt Street in Stanfield.

The kickoff event on June 17 featured more than 80 vendors. In addition to fresh produce, arts and craft vendors offered a variety of products and household goods. In addition, live entertainment, community displays and children’s games were featured.

Other markets in the region are sticking with what works. In Baker City, for instance, the market is the same place and time as last year — Thursdays, 4-7 p.m. in Central Park. More vendors are welcome — for details, visit bakercityfarmersmarket.com.

The La Grande Farmers Market continues to have two markets every week, plus special offerings throughout the summer.

Vendors set up in Max Square, located in the heart of downtown, on Tuesdays from 3-6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon.

Special events are planned throughout the season, starting with Saturday, June 24, when the Eastern Oregon Modern Quilt Guild will display about 25 quilts during the market.

Whether you stop by your local market or make a trek to visit one in a neighboring county, you’re sure to find a variety of homegrown food, local meat, art, crafts, baked goods and so much more. Many markets keep active on social media sites, such as Facebook and Instagram, to showcase each week’s offerings. Happy shopping!
