Choose by the day you can shop
For a Thursday Medford visit, plan around Hawthorne Park. A Saturday Ashland visit can pair with downtown walking; Tuesday uses a different site. Grants Pass has its own organizer and seasonal location. In the Illinois Valley, choose the Friday market in Kerby. These are shopping options, not promises that every vendor appears each week.
Which market is open next?
The table preserves the organizer's published schedule checked October 4, 2026. It does not extend a 2026 season into another year. Confirm the next session on the organizer page, especially around holidays, winter relocation, weather or special events. The Ashland Tuesday page prints March 3–November 24 alongside a conflicting 2025 year; ask the organizer to confirm the season instead of treating that line as a verified 2026 range.
Using SNAP or another market currency
Start at the market information booth and ask which purchases, tokens and current matching programs apply. RV Growers & Crafters publishes SNAP tokens and a Double Up produce match up to $20 per market day. Its Protein Match is described as anticipated for spring 2026, so confirm availability rather than treating that plan as an active offer. Grants Pass describes EBT purchasing, but its posted Double Up and Protein Bucks terms carry a December 20, 2025 expiry. Do not budget for those expired match amounts without fresh confirmation. Rogue Valley Growers & Crafters has a separate market-currency page; benefits should not be transferred from one organizer to another.
Make the visit work for your group
Take a shopping bag and choose transport before leaving. Follow each site's parking signs; a nearby private lot is not automatically available. Check the market's animal rules, the specific vendor for ingredients, and the event calendar if music or a class is your main reason to visit. Admission to a nearby museum and market shopping are separate activities.
