Tenino Farmers Market

About Us

Sustainable Foods, Farms & Community

We are a seasonal market open every Saturday, May through September, from 10:00am to 3:00pm.

The Market offers fresh, locally-grown produce, plants, hand-crafted products, music, events, activities and community outreach. Shopping at a farmers market is a unique experience that benefits farmers and producers directly, offering you more unique products, more heirloom varieties and more opportunities to build relationships and learn about healthy eating. Farmers markets are a community experience, where you can meet your neighbors, friends, artisans and farmers,and where more of your dollars will stay in the community.
