FREE in-person Workshop: Business Plans & Basic Farm Financials

Oregon Agricultural Trust partners with farmers and ranchers to ensure that farm ground stays farming for the benefit of Oregon’s economy, communities, and landscapes. One way that is accomplished is by helping advance the farm business conversation. 

Join us to discuss how farm business analysis tools such as business plans, cash flow budgets and financial statements can help with decision making and achieving your farm’s goals.

It’s time to gather, press apples, and celebrate the harvest together at our final outdoor Farmers Market of the season! 

What’s happening:
Free Apple Pressing All Day – Bring your own apples (clean, no windfalls, no spray) and bring way more containers than you think you’ll need! Don’t have apples? Farmers will have lots of apples for sale, and we’ll have a few containers available too.
Please note: pressing is volunteer-led and first come, first served—so there may be a bit of a wait during busy times.

Rooster Crowing Contest at 12 PM – Strut your stuff and give us your best “cock-a-doodle-doo”!

Fruit & Veggie Contest at 2 PM – Enter your most largest, smallest, or downright weirdest pumpkin or garden veggie. Check in at the Info Booth by 2 PM to join.

Winners of both contests will receive Clatskanie Food Hub gift cards!

Live Music – Enjoy tunes from the Clatskanie High School Jazz Band and the New Romeo Loafers.

Hot Food & Local Ales – Farm to table brunch and brews

Kids activities all days at the Kids' Booth

Farmers & Artisans Market – Stock up on fresh produce, local goods, and handmade treats.

Pumpkin Trebuchet – Watch pumpkins fly, thanks to a one-of-a-kind contraption built by John Lillich!

SNAP/EBT shoppers get 50% off all produce at the market.

Come celebrate the harvest, support local farmers, and enjoy a day full of food, fun, and community!
