The Hillsdale Farmer's Market, rated number four in Sunset Magazine's list of top 10 farmers’ markets in the West (on which the Portland markets weren't even mentioned) has been open through the winter since 2003.

If you don't want to fight crowds and navigate food carts to get to the good stuff, the http://www.hillsdalefarmersmarket.com/ is a much better option (with free parking and a block from the #44 bus stop).

The Hillsdale Farmers' Market has been open in the winter since December 2003. People's Farmers Market has been open much longer, since some time in the 1990s. Hollywood Farmers Market is now open year-round too.

Montavilla Farmers Market is in its second year of once monthly winter markets. January's will be on the 8th from 11-2 at SE 76th and SE Stark.

Isnt this the first ever winter market on earth, really!?!
