Reviews for: Montavilla Farmers Market

small neighborhood in the beginnings of becoming something big! Market is growing and doing its best to provide wholesome entertainment, food and worthy goods. Great destination spot on sundays.

Right outside of my door. Great beef and Sausages. Tasty Fruit and Veggies. They take food stamps so that is even more awesome. Most importantly is my money is going to the residents of my state and its local organic and wholesome!

Fantastic barbeque ribs that I look forward to eating every week! Friendly neighborhood market, great food, grows bigger and tasier every year.. This market has helped revitalize the Stark Street business community that surrounds it and is very accessible to all. Absolutely yummy..

This market has brought great vitality and life to the area. I appreciate this weekly gathering to celebrate summer and meet the neighbors!

Wonderful market really brings some the best our local farmers have to offer right into this small but bustling neighborhood. Great cheeses, terrific locally roasted coffee, fantastic meats and sausages...what more could you ask for?

I am so very excited to have a farmers market in my neighborhood, on top of that it is a friendly and accessible farmers market. It's not too big and not too small. There is a great variety of goods from really nice, friendly sellers who seem to care about the world, the community and food.

Our local farmers' market is a great chance to "buy local" & "know your farmer." The produce and food vendors are great; the music adds to a sense of community. A chance to step outside and chat with neighbors is much needed in today's city life.

This market is run by the community for the community. Everyone there, weather vendors or customers, are wonderful! Rain or shine I love this market!

My neighborhood and it is a good place to shop 'cause I can walk to it. There needs to be more places people can just walk to. Purposeful excercise is the way to go. Lots of good groceries and nice people.

It's a great smaller market that really is a meeting place for the neighborhood. Great farm food!

My market is there and waiting for me on Sunday mornings where I can get veggies for the week and see my neighbors enjoying demonstrations and letting their dogs visit with their friends. A wonderful sign of summer.

It started the grass roots way and has been thriving and growing better every year with more unique offerings. They also offer new local musicians & artists every week.

This wonderful little market, just a 3-minute walk from my home, is very well-managed, offers at least one new vender weeky, has everything from hot tamales and locally-roasted coffee to the highest quality organically-grown produce and fresh baked goods. And everyone is so friendly!

Sunday morning, the neighborhood is abuzz with energy. During my early morning walk to Mt. Tabor I see the vendors arrive and begin setting up at the base of the Mountain Â?then the volunteers show upÂ? many at the crack of dawn. Hard work and a long drive brought the farmers to Montavilla and yet the love in which they prepare for the day is as beautiful as the fresh produce and health vibrant farmers themselves. At 10am the bell rings and you see a stream of walkers in the neighborhood similar to a line of ants with their fabric bags, baskets and wagons. (Rain or shine, remember, we are in Oregon) The regulars get their shopping done early, drop their heavy loads and return for the music and cooking demonstrations and an afternoon snackÂ?and of course the casual, friendly conversation with new friends and oldÂ?.this has quickly become the heart of our community. Sunday afternoon, at home, IÂ?m cleaning vegetables, menu planning for the week, and taking in the array of colors and aroma of the veggies, fruit and occasional piece of artwork that I picked up at the market. This is the one evening for sure I will make a special dinner and since IÂ?m going through the effort we might as well invite friends and loved onesÂ?Then we come together and enjoy each other, wonderful food and a perfect summer evening. This is why I love the Montavilla Farmers Market!

It's a wonderful, small neighborhood market where we can buy beautiful produce, enjoy a coffee and pasty or lunch on made to order food while being entertained by a local chef or musician.

It brings the community together. The tastes and smells are always amazing. I can walk or bike there. Its good for the businesses on stark.

It brings our community together. It's small, has great stuff and is reviving the Montavilla area. I love it!

It's our neighborhood, and of course we support that! Second, we love to buy the fresh prodcue,support the local farms.

They showcase a much needed sense of community and environmental interest in this neighborhood just off of a busy 82nd Avenue. The vendors and patrons are so involved with each other. I love it!

They have the best cooking classes and food I've ever tasted. And we can walk to it. Plus, it's such a coming together of community.

We can walk to the market, the produce is great, music is great, vendors are wonderful!!!

I really like the Montavilla Farmers Market because it's a true and loyal market in its third year and they keep getting better each year especially now that they accept debit and food stamp cards. Hope they continue to strive to serve the best of this small SE Portland community!

The produce is fresh and first-rate. It's within walking distance from our house. The vendors are friendly and helpful. We enjoy the music and seeing and talking with our friends and neighbors. And it's dog-friendly!

Because we can walk there! And shop with our dogs! And the prepared food, pastries, and produce are amazing!!

peaches, cherries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and the resulting pies.

It helps bring awareness to my children of local and sustainable purchases and community involvement. The best bonus is that we can walk there and have together time. I love that the Montavilla Farmer's Market is helping me make memories!

I was visiting Portland for the opening day of the market. What was best was that every vendor grows or makes the product they are selling. The market is easy to navigate, dogs are allowed, children are welcomed and entertained and it is a place for a neighborhood to see each other once a week and support the community.

I love that I can walk or ride my bike to a market that not only has fresh produce, but also sells meat, fish, dairy, art, and an international selection of ready-to-eat foods. I see my neighbors there every week and have made many new friends. Love the vibe!

It is in my neighborhood, has great produce and local foods, and has great music. It also puts great emphasis on recycling.

I support Montavilla Famers Market because the food is good, the people are incredibly friends, and it makes the neighborhood come together. Hooray!

Montavilla is a true neighborhood farmers' market. It has an incredible positive energy as community members gather each Sunday to shop, connect, eat, listen to music and hang out. All the vendors are fresh & local, supporting our local food economy. Montavilla is primarily volunteer-run, which speaks a lot to the commitment & energy in this neighborhood to make community-gathering spaces happen!

it is a great example of what grassroots can do. it brings the neighborhood together - is a pioneer square of its own in 'outer' southeast!

Montavilla is the best. The atmosphere is amazing, the vendors are fantastic, and the managers of the market really care about what they are doing. I love it!

The great neighborhood feel, delish lunch options and beautiful, local AND seasonal produce--all in one stop. Don't forget your Debit or Oregon Trail card, because they're gladly accepted. And plenty of bike parking too.

It gives me a chance to see friends and neighbors, buy delicious food and be involved in the community.

The Montavilla Farmers Market is a fun and welcoming place with great local produce, goods, and music.

I love them because they are small, community-oriented and the produce is the freshest around. I love seeing my neighbors and friends each Sunday. It has a great overall feel.

The variety of great produce is unsurpassed. I see items that do not show up in any chain store market. the quality is superior to any other local market I have gone to....and, very friendly marketers!!!! I can walk from my house to boot!

We visited there last September. They had organic fruits and vegetables from local farms that were the best that we've ever had! Good prices and VERY fresh. We bought things that we can't find around here!

The produts are local, and the people are lovely to deal with. The end result is i havw freash food on my talble
