The Olympia Farmers Market

“Enjoyed a cool misty morning at the Olympia Farmer’s Market. Great location and building make this a worthwhile visit. I’m sure by late spring into early fall, this will be quite popular and busy. You could find almost anything here from Apples-wood carvings. My family was very interested in checking out all the booths from baked goods, meat vendors, fresh milk producers and those creative items that people make. After taking some time to view all the stands, I’m not a big shopper!, I sat in the covered pavilion with the other old dudes and listened to some old classic rock performed by a gentleman and his base guitar and electronic accompaniment. He really made the trip worth while. When Mama was done touching, smelling and talking to everyone she brought out some fresh milk, decorative glass flowers and a pastry to try. Everything was decently priced, so I can’t complain. Will definitely return here this summer upon our return trip. Forgot to take more pictures- just chilled out to the music and forgot!”

“Great little big market. Lots of options, friendly people, and heaters inside during the winter, too, which is nice. The food along the back is a fantastic bonus. Luckily I work from home and can take a long lunch to be able to make it here on a weekday. A lot of popular vendors sell out of everything or popular items VERY early on weekends. I arrived 15 min after opening on a weekend and two stalls were completely sold out of nearly everything. ATM available if you don’t have cash (some vendors are cash only). A lot of parking, but you may have to circle on the weekend. There’s a vendor here that sells fantastic catnip pillows that make my cat go bananas. Great staple for the city.”

“Ojeda Flowers are our go to flower season shop. Support a local family by buying gorgeous flowers? Yes please. They start out with tulips in April but by mid-summer the flowers are AMAZING. We got our reception flowers from them and everyone raced about them. We also love Johnson Berry Farms, they make the best jam. You can find local produce, coffee and pastries, garden starts, local art, jewelry, sauces, sprouts, meats, wood work, lotions, cards, and so much more. They have several little food kitchens, and a stage where they have events, music, etc. If you haven't been it's definitely worth checking out.”

“Great farmers market. Open on multiple days of the week. Covered. There's local restaurants and a covered stage for live music. Flowers, bread, fruits, vegetables, soap, candles, fish, meat. All here. I had a chocolate cheesecake Danish from the Bread Peddler stand. It was delicious. I explored the gardens on the grounds and stood under the wisteria.”

“Olympia is a very clean and quiet place. I really liked this market, which I stumbled upon by chance. It has flowers, handmade goods, jewelry, a butcher's section, and areas for dining. It's a great family weekend destination. Even though it was Saturday, there weren't any crowds.”

“The Olympia Farmers Market is one of my favorite things about Olympia! Live music, friendly people, great produce, plants, the most beautiful flowers, body care products, dog treats, ice cream, kombucha - it’s amazing! I’m excited for extended Spring and Summer hours!”

“I go here at least once a month. I get outdoor plants, pastries, flowers, produce, soaps, jams, meat, wine, tea, and gifts here throughout the year from all the wonderful vendors and small businesses. A great place to gather and connect with your community :)”

“I really enjoyed visiting the farmers market here. There were cherries, asparagus and lots of apples. We bought some mead wine and tastes local Jams and their spicy counterparts. A band made the whole experience extra special, even for a Thursday.”
