The Kenton Farmers Market is offering delicious boxes full of seasonal goodness every Wednesday, all summer long! (Portland Farmers Markets via Facebook)

When COVID-19 forced businesses to close their doors in droves back in March, many local farmers markets went on hiatus, too. But as the region began to re-open into Phase One, markets started coming back, some with online ordering, and all with social distancing guidelines. In fact, for many who have come to see going inside of a supermarket as a fraught endeavor, getting fresh goods in the open air from local vendors seems like a great solution to getting your weekly shopping done. So visit the links below, and then visit these markets!
