Support Local and Keep Your Dollars in Springfield
When you spend money at the Springfield Farmers Market, you're investing directly into the local economy. Every dollar helps support small family farms, bakers, artists, and makers in and around Clark County. Shopping small keeps our city thriving, fosters sustainability, and builds a stronger sense of community. It’s a win-win for you and your neighbors.
2025 is the 19th season of the Springfield Farmers Market and we’re so happy to have been a part of it for the last four years. It’s truly such a wonderful experience and it’s equally great to see the community come together to support the local farmers, bakers, and makers.
The Summer Farmers Market runs every Saturday, June thru September 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM. It’s located in the alley between the Heritage Center and COhatch for those who have never attended the market before. The vendors line the sidewalk of the alley on both sides, extend into the plaza, and up to the esplanade. Stop by, shop small, and celebrate everything that makes our community so special.
Be sure to come find me and say hi — I’ll be there with stickers, art prints, earrings, hair clips, magnets, and more handmade goodies that are guaranteed to bring joy to your day. You just might recognize my art from other local businesses like Scout’s or Mathew’s Family Farm Market and you’ll be able to see the whole selection of what I make instead of a small portion.
