This decision was made after several trees in the park block we occupy fell due to heavy snow. The farmers market manager was on-site yesterday as crews were working to remove the fallen trees from Smith Student Union and consulted with Portland State University management who feel that it is unsafe for people to be in the park blocks at this time. The trees are still holding a great deal of snow and ice while branches continue to break. PFM does not take the closing of markets lightly but this decision has been made for the safety of customers and vendors.

Please stay safe and warm and we hope to see you next market, January 21st, 2017!!
