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.
Auburn parks are smoke-free. This includes Les Gove Park where the Farmers Market is held. If the product emits smoke, or vapor, or contains tobacco, it is prohibited in Auburn Parks per Auburn City Code Chapter 2.22 (PDF).
Volunteer at the Market
Volunteer as a group or individual to help with set-up or tear-down of the Market.
Perfect for students, families, individuals, 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
- 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.
Apply online to volunteer or contact the Market Manager at [email protected].

FARMERS - raises produce, plants or botanicals, or animals on land they own, lease or rent, in the State of Washington.

PREPARED FOOD VENDORS - offer freshly made foods, available for sale and immediate consumption on-site. New applicants please review: Food Business Permits
ARTISANS/CRAFTERS - One who creates with their own hands the products they offer for sale, or providers of skilled craft services at the market, such as on-site knife sharpening or tool refurbishment. To qualify as an Artisan/Crafter, a majority of the tools and equipment used to produce their products must require skill, personal handling and/or manipulation, including second-hand items that are recycled, re-purposed and/or skillfully and creatively refurbished for new or improved use. Products must be created in Washington State only.
Auburn Farmers Market does NOT accept vendors with following items:
- No Commercial or Imported Items
- No Second Hand Items (Exception: Those vendors who take a second hand item and recycle that item into a new use)
- No Franchises (Those who have entered into an agreement or received a license to sell a company’s products and/or use a company’s packaging, logo, ingredients, and/or marketing tools under that license or any franchise agreement)
- No Non-Owner Operated Businesses: Only those businesses that are operated and controlled by their Washington State-Based owners are permitted at RFM
- No Out-of-State Processing: All processed products sold at RFM must be processed within Washington State
Vendor Selection
We do not require vendors to attend every Sunday - although we do give priority to those that attend the full season.
We accept vendors based on this product priority:
- Farmers who grow fresh produce
- Nursery those who grow plants and trees
- Flowers those selling floral arrangements
- Processed Foods
- Prepared Foods
- Crafters
- Other those not fitting in another category but participation pre-approved by Market Manager
We are excited about the expansion into Les Gove Park as well the increase in interest from new farm and food vendors. We place top priority on farm and food products. As such we will not be approving crafters until after March 31, 2023. After March 31, we will add in craft/artisan vendors that add value and have high quality products. This means some vendors that have previously attended the Market, may not be accepted for 2023. No Market Vendor has a guaranteed return right from season to season.
Vendor Fees
All applicants are required to pay the $20 application fee regardless of acceptance into the Market.
If accepted, booth fees are $40 per 10'x10' space per Sunday.
Non-profits have a reduced rate for both the application and booth fee.
