The Thursday farmers market and music in the junction are such a fun time. The variety of food stands available give many choices of foods to choose from. I enjoy the clean and safe environment you provide to people who enjoy coming to downtown Valley Junction. Thank you for the fun time you make available to everyone. God bless you all .

I like everything about this market except the Indian / Pakistani food truck. They use just food color as spicy. Most unauthentic food, I had in my life. Nothing declicious. They deceive people. I had a tummy issue after i ate their food. I would never go again.

Awesome shops. Clean streets. Nicely decorated. Fabulous Farmers Market on Thursdays 4-8. Lots of events throughout the year honoring and supporting all groups of people. A very inclusive philosophy run by a great staff that supports the community it serves.

My wife and I enjoy the locally owned business of Valley Junction. When ever we have out of town guests it’s a visit everyone wants to go and loves the farmers market with the music. Thank you to everyone who makes VJ so special. The 3 business that are on top of their game is Bings, the grill/smoking retailer, and 5th street Pub! Again there’s something for everyone. Between street, parking lots and sights a little further away making parking good! Thank you to everyone who works so hard making VJ the best!

A friend and I visited Valley Junction the weekend before my birthday. We ate lunch at Bix & Co and shopped at both Atomic Garage and Upcycled. Upcycled is such a fun store! Atomic Garage gave us great ideas for Halloween rentals.
