Fill Your Pantry is coming to the Hood River Farmers Market! This year, Fill Your Pantry is taking a slightly different form. Instead of a separate one-day event at the Rockford Grange, we’re bringing Fill Your Pantry to the Hood River Farmers Market on Saturday, November 7.
The market will have a special focus on bulk quantities, pantry staples, winter storage crops, and other foods that are perfect for stocking up.
Come ready to fill your pantry, freezer, and shelves while supporting the farmers and producers who grow and make our local food.
We’ll offer a $100 DUFB Match to shoppers using SNAP at this market, similar to past Fill Your Pantry markets. Spend $100 in SNAP, get $200 to shop at the market.
📅 Saturday, November 7
⏰ 9am–1pm
📍 Hood River Farmers Market

Why the change? This year, we faced some challenging decisions around our staffing and funding capacity, as well as the limited capacity of the Rockford Grange, which has hosted Fill Your Pantry for many years. Integrating FYP into the Hood River Farmers Market makes the most of our existing resources and provides a larger space for more vendors to participate. Last year, we had to turn away 7 qualified local vendors from participating in FYP. The larger market site can accommodate many more vendors, allowing us to expand participation, support local agriculture, connect farmers with shoppers, and help our community prepare for winter.
We are grateful for the Rockford Grange’s many years of partnership and for the important role they have played in making Fill Your Pantry the community tradition it is today. Keep an eye out for upcoming events we’re scheming up with the Grange. Together, we’re crafting ways to make use of this historic gathering place, bring our community together, and celebrate the food that connects us.
