Richfield Farmers Market — Attraction in Richfield

This market is great! It's in Vets Park under the picnic pavilion, so its open rain or shine on Sats mid May-Oct. There's about 20-23 vendors there on a given day and I learned that most have sold there for years. Some of their vendors are: a Richfield resident who sells lots of different kinds of jams&jellies not just your traditional strawberry or raspberry jams (I bought some awesome black raspberry jam and red current jelly), a local honey seller, a bison and cheese vendor (bought some bison burgers from her), a Tibetan dumpling vendor, bread/baked goods vendor and more. And there is tons of produce sellers as well. Prices are between $2-$12 (depending on who you buy from, cheese will be more expensive then a basket of tomatoes, for example).

When I was there I saw lots of families shopping there, which makes sense because it's in the park. Besides the market, the park offers plenty of other fun activities like an updated/adaptive playground, walking trails through a wooded area & wetland, a mini golf course, a malt shop café and holds the Honoring All Veterans Memorial. There is also free activities for kids and music during the market. There is ample seating and onsite restrooms available at the market for customers.

This market accepts EBT/SNAP cards, Credit/Debit Cards, and some other food assistance programs....just in case you forget to bring...

Awesome! This was such a great and local gem of a farmers market to have in Richfield.

Shout out to Talking Loon mushroom jerky!

Below are some notes in case others wants to give it a go! Parking... Parking is a MESS. I wouldn't even try to park in that lot regardless of the time of the market. Instead - try parking across the street on the other side of Portland. There are multiple side street neighborhoods that are within a 5 minute walk. Stalls to check out... Talking Loon mushroom jerky - They are making jerky out of Lions Mane mushrooms this year and they taste great!

Momos - freshly steamed "momos". They remind me of dumplings. The meat ones are great!

Cheese people - (haha, sorry for the name). I generally always buy smoked cheese sticks but they also have spreads&meats.

There is a vender here that sells salsa (red or basil-green). I really enjoy the red salsa. They also sell empanadas.

There are so many other stalls that I haven't tried yet and are probably great!

Times of year... Early in the season (May/June) - you will find the cheese people, Momos, plants, and baked goods.

Later season (July+) - You will start to see a lot more produce from several venders on top of some of the other staples.

Overall, this...

Small farmers market, but looks can be deceiving! At least make one lap around to scope out prices/size/varieties. You can save a buck and get more depending on which vendor you go through. Iced coffee and a bag of mini donuts can start your day here (did not get the donuts though, I save myself for the state Fair version). Or get some Momo's, I enjoyed the beef more than the vegetable ones. Bread from breadsmith, dark chocolates, honey, pickles, bacon, ground bison and grass fed ground beef can...
