The country meets the city at Eugene’s newest farmers market
BY DAVID OZAB ON JULY 6, 2011
New downtown market scheduled Sundays from noon to 3 p.m. through mid-October
In the shadow of the I-105 northbound on-ramp, a semicircle of tables sits under a canopy in a fenced lot at 5th and Washington in downtown Eugene.
On the tables, piles of green, yellow, and purple produce await the arrival of hungry customers.
Eugene’s newest farmers market is open for business. The Urban and Community Growers Market is starting off small, but Bill Bezuk, also known as The Eugene Backyard Farmer, is thinking big.
