People’s Market at Rockwood is an incubator market centering Black and Indigenous Farmers and Makers. We support BIPOC growers in taking their small business dreams to the farmers market environment.

New in 2021, we have launched a Farmer Training Program.

The People’s Market at Rockwood* supports beginning farmers of color in the Rockwood Gersham area in building their farmers market readiness and success. This program is specifically designed for people of color, including immigrants and refugees. Priority will be given to Black and Indigenous applicants. Rockwood is the most diverse community in the entire state of Oregon hosting over 88 languages represented.

Nearly 40 vendors of all cultures will be showcasing their goods during this outdoor market. The event features produce and homemade goods from local Black and Indigenous producers and growers as well as healers who specialize in food and herb wellness.

We will also have plenty of fresh produce and artisan goods from local farmers and vendors (with double dollars offered on fresh produce items with SNAP/EBT) Cloth face coverings will be required to enter the market and social distancing measures will also be in place. It’s sure to be a fun day all around, so don’t miss out!
