Wondering where some of our vendors have gone?
The Villebois Sunday Market has been fortunate enough to attract a number of high-quality vendors, and with the help of Costa Pacific and Arbor Homes, we were able to expand onto a gravel area off Villebois Drive. Unfortunately, it turns out that gravel is not wheelchair accessible, and so we have had to restructure our market map, reducing the number of available spaces to vendors.
We miss them, too.
As a market, we are committed to standing by our founding objectives:
- To provide an informal, social gathering place in an open-air setting;
- To provide a community-building event in the Villebois Village Center;
- To give the community access to a wide variety of fresh, local, in-season farm products direct from the producer; and
- To give local producers a centralized location to provide us with a wide variety of fresh, local, in-season farm products.
We miss them, too.
The baby goats are here!
Goldenwood Farm, which sells goat milk soap at the market, recently celebrated the birth of two goats! Come to the market TODAY and this Sunday, August 9, to meet them yourself.
They might even let you milk the goats!

FIVE things YOU can do in 20 MINUTES to support the Villebois Sunday Market
#1 Recruit volunteers and send them to the market manager. Successful markets have a strong, active volunteer base. If you want to keep the market at Villebois, we need YOU, and we need your friends and neighbors.
Volunteer at the market – we have morning and afternoon shifts – or take a leadership role, and help during the week with a variety of tasks. The Web site, www.VilleboisSundayMarket.com, has information under "volunteers." The sign-up sheet is at the Welcome Tent each week.
If you would like to take a leadership role, please contact Taraneh (terre-UH-neigh) Foster, the market manager, at villeboissundaymarket@gmail.com. Office hours are from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Tuesdays.
#2 Talk, talk, talk. The best way to increase attendance and to recruit volunteers is through cheap, good, old-fashioned word of mouth. Edelman does an annual Trust Barometer (http://www.edelman.com/trust/2009/), and "a person like me" continues to be the most trusted source of information. Didn't you know? YOU are that trusted person. We need you. So get talking!
#3 Talk online, too. Do you use e-mail? Twitter? Facebook? LinkedIn? Please add the following to your e-mail signature, both at home and at work, and then include this on your status updates in your chosen social media: “Did you know Wilsonville has a farmers' market? Watch the video at http://bit.ly/cbAAx, follow the market blog at VilleboisSundayMarket.blogspot.com, and join me Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.”
#4 Share this post with anyone you know that lives in Wilsonville or a neighboring city/town. Ask them to share it with anyone they know, too. Can't make a copy? The Villebois Village Center has extra copies of this in a hard copy, flyer format. They'll be glad to share.
#5 Plan to attend our next community meeting at 12 p.m. Sunday, June 28. What's a better time to talk about the market than during the market itself? We'll meet in the entertainment room across from the leasing office in the Miraval Building (entrance is next to the Village Waffle Baker). It'll be a great time to learn about and sign-up for some of the many volunteer opportunities at the Villebois Sunday Market.
