FARMERS MARKET

OBMA members are encouraged to take advantage of the weekly OB Farmers Market. Most member businesses are eligible for priority booth space rental at the market to reach our 5,000+ weekly market visitors with their products and/or services. For businesses near the market who don’t rent booths, we recommend capitalizing on the increased foot traffic by creating inviting displays and offering market-specific specials.
