Portland Oregon, April 10, 2024 –Rocky Butte Farmers Market (RBFM), Portland’s dog & kid friendly neighborhood market with a block party vibe, will re-open June 1, 2024 at its new more visible and convenient location on the border of the Roseway and Madison South neighborhoods at NE Siskiyou, between 80th & 82nd Avenues.
RBFM will be open every Saturday, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. through September 28. The iconic urban neighborhood market features affordable locally grown foods and artisan products, as well as weekly children's activities, live entertainment, giveaways, market bingo and more. The Market began as a pop-up in the Madison South neighborhood during the summer of 2019, became a monthly market in 2021, and expanded to a weekly market in 2022 and 2023.
Market organizers are thrilled to announce new and returning vendors, offering everything from local produce, meat & flowers, to pottery and handcrafted goods.
“One of our major goals during the offseason was to relocate the market to make it more central and accessible for neighbors and those coming from further away,” said Benjamin Cutler, co-founder and board President. “Our site selection team succeeded thanks to a new partnership with PBOT! We are excited to recreate the magic we cultivated with our vendors and volunteers at the highly visible location on Siskiyou Street beside Glenhaven park this June. We’re looking forward to celebrating local food, crafts and community as we continue to grow RBFM!”
Well-behaved dogs on-leash are allowed in all areas of the market, which offers fresh water and treats at the info booth for pups. Fun and educational children’s programming is offered weekly and is suitable for all ages. The first 25 market-goers ages 3-13 who stop by the Kids Patch each get a FREE $5 token to spend during their visit!
Rocky Butte Farmers Market proudly accepts Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), matching up to $20 per market day with Double Up Food Bucks through a partnership with the Farmers Market Fund.
