Programs

  1. The organization operates a weekly farmers market in Northeast Portland serving low-income and underserved communities. The market prioritizes small, beginning, and underrepresented farmers and vendors by reducing barriers to participation through low booth fees, simplified application processes, translated materials, mentorship, and alternative sales models, including a community table and produce aggregation options. In 2025, the market hosted approximately 45 vendors and supported 37 beginning or underrepresented businesses. These efforts increased economic opportunity for small producers while expanding community access to locally grown food.

In 2025, the organization processed approximately $7,109 in SNAP benefits and distributed $5,946, in matching incentives, and $37,500 in fresh food and protein incentives (through NAYA 501c3), directly benefiting 1,000+ households.
