The 2026 Farmer’s Market Season in Central Oregon Has Arrived

Fresh finds, easy mornings, and one of our favorite summer rituals


When summer arrives in Central Oregon, farmer’s market season isn’t just an activity — it’s part of the weekly rhythm. Locals plan mornings around it. Visitors quickly learn why. Fresh produce, baked goods still warm, flowers, coffee in hand, and nowhere else you really need to be.

Why We Love Market Mornings in Summer

Farmer’s markets are about more than what you buy. They’re about:


  • Slower starts to the day
  • Supporting local growers
  • Eating well without overthinking it
  • Bringing something fresh back to your vacation home


Grab ingredients for dinner, flowers for the table, or snacks for a day of adventure — it all feels better when it’s local.


Make It Part of Your Stay

With a vacation home kitchen, outdoor space, and room to gather, farmer’s market finds are easy to enjoy. Simple meals, shared breakfasts, and relaxed evenings start with a good market run.
