Locavore Essentials
Our marketplace is located at 1841 NE 3rd St, Bend, OR 97701.
Central Oregon Locavore is Bend’s only year-round indoor farmers market, providing access to fresh, locally grown food produced sustainably by local farmers and ranchers. We are the equivalent of a local food co-op, but a not for profit. More about our Programs
