Welcome to the Tenino Farmers Market!
Connecting Food, Farms, and You
Farmers' markets are one of the oldest forms of direct marketing by small farmers. In the last decade they have become a favorite marketing method for many farmers throughout the United States and a weekly ritual for many shoppers to get fresh, flavorful produce. The Tenino Farmers Market is dominated by local growers selling produce which they raise on their own farms and is as fresh as can be. All crafts sold are handmade by the vendors.
The Tenino Farmers Market vision is to develop a healthy community and a sustainable local food system. We are supporters of the City of Tenino’s newly created Wellness Program.
