Thank you!  I am the market manager at the Hood River Sat Market and though I do my best to monitor our market quality and speak with vendors - I appreciate others who can keep an eye out and give me a "heads-up" on anything that might not be locally grown/produced -

*We do have an originally application / screening process at the beginning of our season but occasionally vendors will show up with something unexpected and must be regulated that day. 

I appreciate the community collaboration to make this great local market an enjoyable experience/event!

Shop local & sustainable!

Hood River Saturday Market - Vendor Guidelines :

Items must be handmade, grown,or gathered by the market member,a member of their immediate family or a partner in craft.

1. The member contribution to a finished product must outweigh the contribution of any commercial components used in the making of that product.Skills in craftsmanship, as well as creative abilities, ingenuity and design skills are examples of member contribution. (more info.)

 *My goal for the market is to grow & incorporate the community and showcase our talented vendors from throughout the Columbia Gorge.  We try our best to monitor the quality & standards we hold for handmade/homegrown products.

*As a market manager, I do my best to talk with vendors about their growing processes, etc.  I do the same with my jewelry vendors, etc. to monitor quality of their handmade good as well.

At the downtown Hood River Saturday Market for 2010, our 20th season, we have had a great mix of produce, crafts, food and more -

Our vendors and staff take pride in the quality of their produce and products and I have no doubt that the local shoppers can enjoy homegrown, high-quality, fresh foods.

To encourage new and continuing farmers, we need to make sure anything put into place is both affordable and practical.  

Glad to hear the discussion on OPB because we all know that the main point of all of us this is - supporting local and sustainable products!  *With such a bounty of available produce & hand-crafted goods in the Pacific NW, there is no doubt we should all be working together for the greater good/goal!

Stop by the Hood River Sat Market -every Saturday-9am-3pm at 5th/Cascade -

Browse the mix of our fresh produce, pottery, jewelry, food, cookies, coffee and more! *Live Music Weekly*

*The Hood River Sat Market is a proud staple of the downtown community and is celebrating it's 20th season!!*
