Gresham Farmers’ Market

The city of Gresham, Polly Casterline and other local citizens worked together to establish the Gresham Farmers’ Market in 1986. Gresham, widely known for its wealth of berries, has a long history rooted in agriculture, once boasted a multitude of farms, which grew various cane berries, strawberries, and blueberries. With the abundance of farms, canneries became a necessity. For generations, one could make a living growing or processing the bounty that Gresham offered.
