Volunteers Needed
We're inviting residents, schools and community groups to participate with us as Market Ambassadors on Wednesday mornings, afternoons or evenings.  There will be lots of opportunities to have FUN, while contributing to our community by helping out at the market.  Complete a Volunteer Application and contact Market Coordinator Allison Leevers for details.  We will contact you for our first Ambassador meeting in June.

FRESH BUCKS ARE HEEEEEEERE! Once again, we are proud to accept WIC and Senior FMNP vouchers and thanks to a collaborative effort between MultiCare, WA State Department of Health, and US Department of Agriculture, Steilacoom Farmers Market can offer shoppers using EBT-SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) a BONUS for using their benefits every Wednesday, June to August at our market with a program called Fresh Bucks.   Fresh Bucks supports access to fresh fruits and vegetables and *promotes healthy choices.  How does it work?

1. Go: To our Market’s Information tent.
2. Swipe: Your EBT card for whatever amount you would like to spend from your account at the market.
3. Match: Receive a one-to-one match in Fresh Bucks (up to $10 per Market day, per cardholder) that can be used for buying fresh fruits and vegetables at the Steilacoom Farmers’ Market.
4. Shop!

*Consuming the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables has been shown to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease.  By reducing the risk of disease, you decrease health care costs, increase productivity and gives our youth a healthy start!

The Town of Steilacoom is a military-friendly community, so bring your families down and see what we have to offer you. With more than 40 vendors to choose from, we are confident you will have fun filling your appetites and shopping bags every Wednesday, starting June 20, 2018 from 3:00 to 7:00. 

SAVE THE DATE!

What a fantastic Farmers Market season we had this year: 11 dedicated Volunteers, 2 hard-working Market Interns Janine Kelley (Pierce College) and Lacey Nicholson (Pacific Lutheran University), 55 awesome vendors, cooking demonstrations by Lakewood's Hunan Garden Restaurant and Center for Food Preservation Arts, berry tastings, family activities, Farmers Market Week celebration, music by the Steilacoom High School Wind Ensemble, Steilacoom Summer Day Camp Flash Mob, Pierce Transit, WIC & EBT services, and generous support from our local Kiwanis Club of Steilacoom.  But our Market would not exist without YOU, our community.  THANK YOU for supporting local agriculture and investing your dollars here, in Pierce County.  

We welcome your participation to maintain continued variety and bright energy next June by applying to volunteer, and continue sharing @steilacoomfarmersmarket on Facebook to help us spread the word about our vibrant Market with your network. The success of our Market can't happen without YOU!
