Our second Winter Stock-up Market of the year is coming up this Sunday, January 8th from 11am to 1pm. These markets won’t have the bells and whistles of our regular markets, but are full of great winter produce and goods. We will still have the EBT/Debit Token program available **with $5 EBT matching still available!**, but none of the regular season’s chef demos, market merchandise, or community tables. Here’s the scoop on the vendors who will be at the market and what goods they’ll have on hand. Get your shopping baskets ready!

At our Harvest Market this Sunday, we will be offering up to $15 in matching tokens to shoppers using their EBT/Oregon Trail cards. We typically match up to $5 through our Everybody Eats program, but wanted to do more to help our friends and neighbors have access to fresh, local goods for their Thanksgiving table. This increased match is possible thanks to the success of our Harvest Dinner fundraiser in September, and the support of our Market community. To receive the matching tokens, visit our Info Booth with your Oregon Trail card at the Harvest Market on Sunday, November 20. (10 am – 2 pm).
Each year, Edible Portland recognizes Local Heroes that are outstanding supporters of our regional food community. The Montavilla Farmers Market is honored to be one of four finalists this year in the nonprofit category! Past winners include Oregon Food Bank and Growing Gardens. We feel privileged to be included in the company of these worthwhile organizations and the other 2012 nominees.
The Montavilla Farmers Market is rooted in the principles of equity and sustainability, and while still young and emerging, has launched a number of progressive, cutting-edge programs to further this cause. The following are some examples of programs which make our market special and worthy of recognition.
- Durable Dish Program — All ready-to-eat vendors are provided (for free) with reusable dishware to cut down on waste generated at the MFM. Market volunteers wash dishes throughout the day to keep vendors well stocked.
- Everybody Eats Program — Making local food accessible to a broader range of customers by matching the first $5 of SNAP (food stamps) purchases at the market each week.
- Senior Food Delivery Program Pilot — An off shoot of Everybody Eats, this program is a partnership between the MFM, Multnomah County’s Aging and Disabilities Division, and the Loaves and Fishes Belmont Center. Each week program volunteers go to the Belmont Center and sign up seniors—who otherwise couldn’t access the MFM—for either a $2.50 or $5.00 produce bag. The market then matches senior’s purchases. Program volunteers shop for each of these seniors and the food is delivered to the Belmont Center for pick up.
- Loaner Bag Program — MFM partners with local organizations to provide reusable bags to market shoppers for free!
We would be grateful if you would take a minute to visit the Edible Portland website and vote for us! Votes will be accepted until December 14.
October 30, the last regular 2011 market day, will be filled with Halloween fun! Visitors, especially kids, are encouraged to wear costumes for our costume contest. They can make a treat bag at a craft station and then go “door to door” to the market vendors for treats. Businesses all along Stark Street will be welcoming trick-or-treaters as well from 11am-4pm. And Jason McCammon will be back to do some Extreme Pumpkin Carving and Halloween-inspired cooking with the kids – it’s bound to be lots of fun!
After all the fun on Oct 30, the Montavilla Farmers Market will be back for our Thanksgiving Harvest Market on Sunday, November 20th. The market will be open from 10:00am-2:00pm and will feature an array of amazing seasonal produce for your Thanksgiving Tables. And be sure to visit our Winter Stock-up Markets on the second Sunday of December, January, and February from 11:00am to 1:00pm!
