The pahtl o’-pe-kwan Program
Cully, Rocky Butte & Woodlawn Farmers Markets have joined forces this summer to share an incredible program! We will be allocating out fresh produce, meat, eggs, and honey through this shared effort to our NE Portland Communities! Please read the guidelines provided and reach out to your local market with any questions you may have!
This program is available to anyone who is currently receiving any type of governmental assistance, and can show proof of said support.
Eligible participants will be required to fill out an anonymous survey to receive $50 in tokens to be spent at participating vendors (participating vendors will have clearly marked signage on their booths).
These tokens can be used at The Cully Farmers Market, Woodlawn Farmers Market, and Rocky Butte Farmers Market. However, we do encourage you to use them within the week as this program will only be accessible as long as funding is available.
If you are experiencing a hardship and do not receive government support, we can offer you a one time hardship application.
All transactions through the paht’l o’-pe-kwan program will be rounded up to the nearest dollar to make this a smooth process for the participating vendors and market managers.
