Voted #1 Farmers Market in Washington State in 2022!

Our Mission: The Auburn Farmers Market provides a convenient venue for local farmers and artisans to provide access to healthy, fresh, locally sourced food and products to area residents. The Market is a vibrant gathering place where visitors can learn about healthy food choices, and overall health and well-being.

Perfect for school groups or scout troops looking for volunteer hours, the Market is in need of volunteers to help set-up and tear-down Market activities on Sundays.
Volunteers are welcome to stay for more than one shift per Market day and are encouraged to attend multiple Markets throughout the season:
- Set-up from 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
- Operations from 11:00 AM - 1 PM
- Tear-down from 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM
Our volunteer program does not have the capacity to assist vendors in set-up and tear-down of their booths.
