Peoria Road Farm Market at 33269 Peoria Road, Corvallis (541-207-3327) is open for it's third season.  Run by Justin and Margaret Henderson, their market uses products by local farmers from Washington and Oregon. There are two greenhouses visible from their front door with fields all around from which they get a lot of their produce.
They gladly accept WIC, Oregon Trail, and Senior Vouchers.

Davis Family Farm, 4380 NE Hwy 20, Corvallis,(541) 752-0697)

After being greeted by Kelly Hasenfratz, a tour of Davis Family Farm, across from Trillium School on Highway 20, there was no doubt that the trip was worth the time and gas.
Besides being surrounded by a beautiful display of flowers outside and in the greenhouse, the farm sells all the produce you can want, along with a pumpkin patch with a hay ride in the fall.  Again, this market also shows great customer service and after 20 years, display the given ingredients for success which they have enjoyed.
When reading their reviews, customers from as far as San Francisco, are raving about the pumpkin patch with the hot apple cider and donuts for reasonable prices.

Albany Helping Hands Garden Market and Keep Warm Woodlot at 5150 Santiam Hwy SE, Albany (541-791-1190) is right next to the freeway.

 They accept WIC, Senior vouchers, and Oregon Trail cards, along with wood donated by the community.  Dan Bolger, the manager, explained how the lot sells the wood (three different varieties)  are sold at very reasonable prices and the proceeds go to Helping Hands.
Their produce is not yet ready to be sold but should be available in July. 

Jim Fruit Stand 29338 Hwy 34, Corvallis was another market shown abover, but the  manager was not available for comment.  The stand is now back in the hands of the original owner, Jim.
