About the Hillsboro Saturday Farmers' Market
A tradition in Hillsboro for more than 25 years, the Hillsboro Saturday Farmers' Market is a seasonal open-air market featuring fresh local agricultural food and garden products, arts and crafts, live music and educational information. It is governed by a Sub-Commitee of the Hillsboro Downtown Business Association (HDBA).

One of the longest running "true" producers' markets in the Northwest, the Hillsboro Saturday Farmers' Market was established in 1981 and has become a traditional community gathering place as well as a favorite venue for obtaining fresh, local products. An estimated 5,000 shoppers come weekly to our markets to purchase vendor-grown/produced agricultural products and arts and crafts, as well as to meet with friends.

Hillsboro's Other Markets
Hillsboro currently offers three other market venues. In 1998 the Tuesday Market was launched, providing another opportunity for people in the community to gather downtown for food, shopping, fun and entertainment.
In 2003, a third market was added — Hillsboro Sunday Farmers' Market at Orenco Station.
Just two years ago, our fourth market came to life — Hillsboro Winter Market.
