No, not all products found at the market are organic. It is up to individual vendors how they wish to grow/produce/source their products. We do, however, give preference to vendors that operate locally within the Rogue Valley. Be sure to ask individual vendors what their production methods are, and why they have chosen them.

Everything produced at the market is as local as it can be! Rogue Valley Growers & Crafters Market is limited to growers, producers and crafters within 3 counties—Jackson, Josephine, and Siskiyou counties. Some of these vendors may choose to source materials and ingredients outside of our valley. Be sure to ask individual vendors about sources of their ingredients, and why they have chosen them.

WIC and Senior Nutrition Farm Direct checks can be used at any market booth that displays a sign indicating participation in the Oregon Farm Direct Nutrition Program. Most farms at the market are participants in the WIC/SNAP program.
