Small farmers are at the heart of Oregon’s robust farmers market culture. The farmers work hard to raise healthy vegetables, fruits, animals and nursery stock for our health and well-being, often with the help of OSU Extension crop and small farm specialists. Introducing people to healthy affordable foods is also the work of Family and Community Health Extension. Oregon State University Extension puts information and expertise within reach of all Oregonians so they may thrive in their communities, be lifted by growing economies, and share pride in the flourishing ecosystems of Oregon.
