Location: Lents International Farmers Market, Sundays
The Market Scouts program at the Lents International Farmers Market will start in July, instead of June when the market first opens, to allow the market and community to adjust to the social distancing measures happening at the Portland Farmers Markets this season. Our partner, Slow Food Portland has committed to fund the Market Scouts tokens for this impactful youth education program and is working with Zenger Farm to provide high-quality take-home activities for kids.
Learn more about Market Scouts and how you can support it here.

We’ll be inviting our youngest market-goers to help us explore and taste fresh market ingredients in this hands-on activity. The demo is free and kids can stay for as little or as long as they’d like.
