Lake Oswego, OR. The Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market in Millennium Plaza Park boasts an average of over 80 vendors each week. Many take “Farmers’ Market coupons” which are used by low-income families and seniors. The government program is aimed at helping farmers and offering fresh local food to help feed local women, infants and children (WIC). Statewide, 476 farmers’ markets and roadside stands accept the coupons. It’s part of the Oregon Farm Direct Nutrition Program.

Eligible participants receive $4 checks, specifically to purchase locally produced fresh fruit and vegetables directly from authorized farmers at farm stands and farmers’ markets from June 1 to October 31.

In 2017, Oregon farmers earned approximately $1 million in Farm Direct sales to seniors and WIC families.
