with Us!

It’s National Farmers Market Week, and we’re excited to celebrate with you at the North Bend Farmers Market! Join us in recognizing the incredible farmers, food makers, volunteers, and community organizations who make this market such a special place.
🌱 Why Farmers Markets Matter:
- They support local farms, small businesses, and healthy communities.
- They help make fresh, local food accessible for all—thanks to food access programs like WIC & Senior FMNP, SNAP, SNAP Market Match, and SUN Bucks'
- In 2024, the North Bend Farmers Market distributed over $6,700 in SNAP and Market Match benefits, making it easier for families to bring home fresh produce.
- Nationally, shoppers used $4.8 million in food access benefits at farmers markets just like ours!
🙌 A Shoutout to Our Volunteers!
Each year, over 10 amazing community volunteers support our market. They’re passionate about local food, healthy communities, and making Washington a better place for all.

After completing the fun weekly activity or challenge, children become the shoppers each week by earning POP bucks, $2 tokens, to spend on fresh fruits, vegetables and food plants at one of our farm booths of their choice.

kids ages 3-10yrs for 6 consecutive market dates:
