The Eugene Producer’s Public Market open ed in 1915, and operated success fully for 14 years at a location on 8th and Park Streets downtown. Fruits, vegetables, poultry, eggs, meat, and cider were sold to eager customers under a cov ered] open-walled structure. In 1929, after intense competition by factions of downtown mer chants wanting the Farmers’ Market to locate near their stores, the Farmers’ Market moved to a fancy new building at the corner of Broadway and Charnelton Streets. The opening of the new market was described as a “mob scene,” and 100 pro ducers sold their goods. The Po mona Grange was the owner of the building, and was responsi ble for the development and suc cessful management of the Pub lic Market. However, by the 1950’s, the pressures of high land value, supermarkets, and one-crop farming caused the Market to close in 1959, as the building was converted for use by a national chain drug store. In July 1979, the Saturday Market Board of Directors in dicated its interest in managing the Farmers’ Market. The Satur day- Market was a stable organi zation, nearly 10 years old, with competent paid staff and experi ence in managing vendor mar kets. The Saturday Market staff operated the Farmers’ Market as a distinct, yet complementary activity to the Saturday Craft Market held on the adjacent parking lot. They took care of advertising, insurance, fee col lection, maintenance, and gen eral operation of the market. In addition, they managed a con signment booth which sold pro duce from farmers and backyard growers at a 10 percent mark-up. In its fifth year of sponsoring the Lane County Farmers’ Mar ket, the Saturday Market has been busily working with City and County officials to get the Farmers’ Market stabilized for its June 4th opening. Because of its historical significance to the area, there is a lot of support for its continued survival. The pro duce and products offered at the Farmers’ Market deserve their reputation as the -freshest and finest to be found in the area ... a source of pride to the vendors and good fortune for their cus tomers. Visit the Farmers’ Market Saturdays at its new location adjacent to Saturday Market, downtown Eugene. Call 686-8885 for more information regarding how to sell your pro duce, fees, etc. Announcements A hands-on computer instruction and summer recreation will be com bined in a computer camp for chil dren, August 7-20, for children ages 9 to 15.
