Organic farmers have become increasingly important contributors in the primary sector of the Pacific Northwest, especially in the agricultural scenes of Washington and Oregon (311). Because of this, farmers' markets have become very popular in many parts of the region. Farmers' markets are also very common in San Francisco. These markets have become popular in areas such as Seattle's daily indoor Pike Place Market and downtown Portland's popular Saturday Market (311). They not only provide an outlet for organic farmers to sell their fresh wares, but also serve as social functions and gatherings for local residents and visitors. Whether in San Francisco or the Pacific Northwest, make sure you try some fresh agricultures from these markets!
