Voted #1 Farmers Market in Washington State in 2022!
From the American Farmland Trust.
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.

Using EBT at the Market

- Tokens can be sent on EBT eligible products just like you would at the grocery store.
- Eligible products include fruits, vegetables, coffee beans, cheese, meat, honey, and baked goods
- Tokens are matched with SNAP Market Match, up to $25
- SNAP Market Match can ONLY be spent on fruits and veggies
- Shop for eligible products.
The Auburn Farmers Market only accepts EBT Food Stamps. We are unable to accept EBT Cash.
Volunteer at the Market
Volunteer as a group or individual to help with set-up, tear-down, or general operations of the Market.
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.
