With Mother’s Day around the corner, make sure to celebrate the maternal figure(s) in your life. Looking for the perfect gift? The farmers market has you covered.
The mother archetype is not limited to the person who delivered you from their womb. They can also be a beloved aunt who makes your favorite pecan pie, or perhaps a teacher that gave you extra emotional support when you most needed it. If you have someone in your life that has mothered you, how would you like to make them feel special this weekend?
Here is a list of gift options you can find at the market.
- Honey or beeswax candles (Blessed Bee, Humble Bee Honey, Umpqua Valley Pollen and Honey, Wild Everlasting)
- Jams and jellies (Moondog’s Farm, Riverbend Farm)
- Apothecary items (Boho Boto, Rooted Remedies)
- Plant starts
- Baked goods (Aji, Creswell, Elegant Elephant, Estelle, Ladybread, Hideaway, Merryheart Farm, Sugarmama’s)
- Fresh flowers/dried flower wreaths (Butterfly Flower Garden, C&K’s Flower Garden, Dragon Song Farm, Formosa Flower Farm, Maddies Flower Farm, Rhythm & Blooms, Seasons’ End, Willow & Oak)

“As we farm land in conservation on the lower McKenzie, we’re committed to growing flowers in a way that respects, protects, and enhances our local ecosystem. We use organic growing methods and inputs, pollinator-safe practices, and practice regenerative farming techniques such as cover cropping, cycling nutrients from our chickens back to the flower fields, composting, crop rotation, low-till and perennial plantings, etc. For Mother’s Day, we have a limited number of beautiful fresh bouquets available, as well as everlasting flowers, dahlia tubers, and gift certificates for our Summer Bouquet CSA program!”
Kelly Hardin from Willow & Oak
“As a mom, I know how wonderful fresh local flowers can be on Mother’s Day! To celebrate all the maternal figures in our life, we will be offering special Mother’s Day bouquets at the market. They are all grown locally and sustainably. We also have subscriptions available in our summer CSA that will gift your loved one fresh flowers all summer long.”
