Saturday Farmer’s Market Canceled:
The Interstate Farmers Market is sorry to announce the cancellation of the Saturday Market located at Lombard. We had high hopes for this venue when we decided to expand to this site, bringing more local food to North Portland and supporting more small farmers. The delay in the spring harvest due to the extremely wet weather affected many of our vendors and their ability to have product to sell at the new location. We were unable to recover from this setback and recruit enough additional vendors to get the market off to a solid start with good momentum and the cash reserves allocated for this location have now been exhausted.
After the close of September which marks the end of the 2011 market season, we will evaluate our situation and move forward with the benefit of the lessons learned from the past year. We thank you for your support in this effort and invite your continued patronage of the Wednesday Marke
t at Overlook Park.
Sincerely,
The Interstate Farmers Market Community Board of Directors
