About Baker City Farmers Market

Baker City Farmers Market is a community-based non-profit organization run by a part time, seasonal market manager, a volunteer Board, and member supporters, including a diverse vendor base of farmers, entrepreneurs, crafters, artisans, producers and more. Our mission is to enhance the quality of our lives by promoting and encouraging the development of high quality local produce and providing an outlet for farmers, artisans and other producers to sell directly to the public. We foster a sense of community and sustain small-scale agriculture. Contact us or drop by our booth at the market to learn how you can become involved!
