What is the Market Basket Program?

Welcome to the OHSU Market Basket program where you can pre-purchase fruits, vegetables, breads, dips and meat from the OHSU Farmers Market and pick it up during the market at the BICC from 3-7pm.

Many of our busy staff at OHSU cannot make it to the market from 11-3pm but want to support local farmers and bring home fresh goods. This program will ensure mostly everyone on the hill has access to the most seasonal, fresh, delicious food and ensure a better sales day for our vendors. Your feedback will help guide our selections, so please let us know which products you are most interested in by emailing farmmkt@ohsu.edu.

Thank you again for your continued support of locally produced foods. Your purchase promotes the health of our future!

You MUST complete your purchase between Tuesday 6pm through Saturday night (11:59pm)* with your debit or credit card. You can only buy the add-ons (breads, meat, dips) if you buy a fruit or veggie Basket.
    • Since we need to give our farmers time to gather your purchases, we will need your order by 11:59pm, Saturday night.
    • You can sign up for just 1 week...or if you trust the market manager to pick outstanding selections, you can sign up for the rest of the year and receive a discount!
  3. Pick up your basket at the 2nd floor (ground entrance) of the BICC from 3-7pm.
  4. Bring your receipt.
  5. BYOB: You must bring your own bag.

Testimonials

"The Farmer's Market Basket program brings together the best of everything, fresh produce, good selection, tasty extras, and convenience, all for very reasonable prices and value. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't want to do this."
-KR

"We love the market basket at our house. We think this is the perfect answer for smaller families who don't want to invest in a CSA. We only buy the baskets we want and it is so easy to pick them up when I'm leaving work. I am always surprised at how much food is in the basket. Usually the veggies are overflowing from my bag."
-Amy

"I love being able to collect my market basket and bike it home after work. It's such a convienient (and uplifing!) way to bring home healthy local food on a mid-week evening."
