• October date to be determined

Market hours and location:

• 4–7 p.m.

🥖Washington Farmers’ Market: The Biggest Saturday Selection

For shoppers who enjoy a larger traditional farmers market, the Washington Farmers’ Market is well worth the drive.

Tips for Visiting a Local Farmers Market

A little preparation can make your trip more enjoyable:

• Bring a reusable shopping bag or small cooler.

• Carry some cash, since payment options differ by vendor.

• Arrive early for the widest produce selection.

• Ask vendors what was harvested most recently.

• Check the market’s website or social media before leaving.

• Remember that outdoor markets may be delayed or canceled because of weather.
