About Us
Who we are
In 2005, Adelante Mujeres launched the Forest Grove Farmers Market, fostering cross-cultural exchange during this family-focused community event. 15 years later, in partnership with the City of Cornelius, Adelante Mujeres launched the Cornelius Farmers Market in the summer of 2020.
One of the most diverse events in the area, the outdoor Forest Grove and Cornelius Farmers Markets attract a weekly total average of more than 2,500 visitors of all ages and demographic groups to share good food and listen to local musicians. Market vendors offer a wide selection of local goods ranging from fresh produce, eggs, meat, honey, baked goods and prepared foods to flowers, plant starts, hand-crafted soaps, wine, and more.
The markets are a key project of the Market Access Program at Adelante Mujeres. The markets are a small-business incubator for businesses participating in the Regenerative Agriculture Program and the Empresas Small Business Development program.
Our Mission
The mission of the Adelante Farmers Market is to nurture community and celebrate culture by strengthening direct access to fresh, culturally relevant foods. Our inclusive gathering space serves as an incubator market for beginning Latine farmers, food businesses, and artisan makers.
