Central Oregon’s
Fill Your Pantry

An Autumnal Bulk Buying Farmers Market

​The 10th Annual Central Oregon ​​​Fill Your Pantry is a community bulk-buying farmers market created so YOU can fill up your pantry, freezer, and root cellar with great local products for the winter. Say bye-bye to busy holiday lines and produce that has traveled farther than you during holiday vacations, and say hello to a kitchen full of local meats, grains, vegetables, ferments, and more.

The Central Oregon Fill Your Pantry will allow you to stock up on items like potatoes, onions, leeks, beets, winter squash, garlic, honey, flours, apples, pears, dried beans, krauts, baked goods, and more.

This is a bulk-focused farmers market, so bring your muscles! Farmers, ranchers, orchardists, and producers will be selling large quantities of items. For example, 20lb bags of onions, 50lb bags of potatoes, 25lb boxes of ground beef, etc. This is a great opportunity for vendors to move product before the harsh Central Oregon winter and a great opportunity for you to save money and eat well all winter long.

We accept SNAP/EBT, DUFB, and FDNP currencies!

If you would like to use EBT/SNAP at the Fill Your Pantry event, please bring your SNAP benefits card to the Bend Farmers Market booth at the Fill Your Pantry event. The Bend Farmers Market will be exchanging SNAP benefits for tokens. These tokens can be taken to any of our vendors to use just like you would your SNAP benefits. If you would like to use your FDNP vouchers, please take these vouchers directly to the vendors. Vendors that can take FDNP include: Boundless Farmstead, Canyon Moon Farm, Cultivate Farm, Deschutes Canyon Garlic, The Farmer in Odell, Rainshadow Organics, Rooper Ranch, Sungrounded Farm, Upriver Organics, and Zajac Farms.

We were just awarded a grant from the Oregon Department of Agriculture to offer a $100 Double Up Food Bucks matching grant for each participant. We are also able to offer a $20 Protein Perks matching grant for each participant this year as well.

So that means if you ring up your EBT/SNAP card for $120, you will receive $240 total in benefits to use at Fill Your Pantry!

Donate food at Fill Your Pantry!

This year, we will have two great opportunities to help out those experiencing food insecurity in our area-

Bend Food Project will be collecting non-perishable food items at their booth to donate to the Giving Plate Food Pantry. Please consider bringing canned or packaged goods to the event to donate to help out your food insecure neighbors.
HDFFA will be collecting fresh food items to donate to NeighborImpact and their associated food pantries. Consider buying an extra bulk item to donate to HDFFA! 

Let's fill everyone's pantries this year!
