New Columbia Farmers market is a hub for cultural expression, neighborhood based economic development and a new vendor incubator. Shopping at New Columbia Farmers Market circulates community dollars within the community. The market employs a vendor recruitment strategy that prioritizes growers, emerging small businesses owners and artists from New Columbia and North Portland. With growers from the community selling African eggplant beside vendors serving up sambusas, the market is a gathering space for diverse neighbors to connect over foods from home.
