A revolutionary concept in food delivery will make it's grand debut this Sunday, 5 July @ 43rd and Hawthorne, between 1-6pm. The Hawthorne Urban Farmers' Market is the only one in Portland to feature only ultra-local produce and to accept both cash and barter. The Hawthorne Urban Farmers' Market is an experiment in self-organization that allows each vendor ultimate freedom to conduct business as he or she chooses. The market is also not affiliated with the Oregon Farmers' Market Association. It operates without fees from vendors but instead, relies upon a gift economy. For instance, vendors pitch in to give the entertainment and lot owners a bag of produce or give goods between each other to exchange what one might call the capital of goodwill.
