Hello Market Friends,
Don't let the forecast fool you. Saturday is still shaping up to be a wonderful day at the Original Missoula Farmers' Market! While there's a chance of rain in the forecast, our vendors will be on North Higgins with fresh produce, baked goods, local meats, handcrafted products, flowers, and so much more.

A little rain is often the perfect excuse to grab a warm drink, stroll the market, and stock up on local favorites.

We'll also be enjoying live music from Gregory Rawlins, providing the perfect soundtrack for your Saturday morning shopping.

Shopping local makes a real difference. Every purchase supports Montana farmers, ranchers, bakers, makers, and small businesses while helping strengthen our local food system and community. Join us this Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on North Higgins by the Red X's.

Bring an umbrella just in case, and come discover what's fresh this week! We can't wait to see you there.
​
See you at the market!

FRESH LOCAL VEGETABLES, FRUITS AND MEATS

The Missoula Farmers' Market was formed in 1972 as a local farm and garden market. We're open all growing season long, from the first Saturday in May to the end of October. In the spring you will find veggie starts and greens, summertime brings tomatoes, huckleberries, cherries, peaches, melons and corn, and fall's bounty includes squash & pumpkins, apples and garlic. Locally grown, raised, gathered and processed meat, eggs and mushrooms are available all season long.

Serving the community for more than a half a century

Missoula Farmers' Market celebrates 53 years!

The Missoula Farmers' Market was established as a Montana non-profit corporation on June 7, 1972 by Missoula City Ordinance 1485. The first Market was held on July 21, 1972. Mavis McKelvey and Chinwon Reinhardt were instrumental in the founding of the Market, which was granted space on East Railroad Street west of Pattee Street, which is where the Market still operates.
​
The original farmers market was on the north end of Higgins in a part of town that was largely forgotten. The market was created as an outlet for local farmers and gardeners to sell their produce. Over time, its popularity grew, and improvements of the space were made. The city doubled the market space by moving the locomotive, created the central plaza and added lighting and brickwork for ambience. The success of the Missoula Farmers’ Market sparked the creation of the People’s Market and the Clark Fork River Market.
