Olalla Valley Farmers Market

Come on down to Olalla to get a taste of country fresh local produce, crafts, and other products. It's the Olalla Valley Farmers Market, FRIDAYS, from 1:00 - 6:00 pm, Olalla Bible Church, 13053 Olalla Valley RD.

We've got a variety of goodies, edible and non-edible. This Friday, we should have at least three produce stands with a wide variety of absolutely delicious fruits and vegetables, honey, etc, the lionshare of which is very locally grown and harvested. For those who love canning and knowing what's really in your food but don't have enough produce to warrant it, consider coming and buying in bulk. One of the vendors will give a discount for big purchases. There's NOTHING quite like your own canned preserves come fall and winter; it's like having tastes of summer all the cold months long!!! One of our vendors sells delicious, fresh chicken and duck eggs, as well as offers a selection from her own garden.

Also, we've got vendors with LOTS of fabulous handcrafted things and lovely plants, including hanging baskets. If you're house is looking drab, plants are a handy way of quickly making it look fabulous. The prices are reasonable and you're supporting your local economy and neighbors by purchasing from OVFM vendors.

Come support this local market and help us grow, especially if you're craving fun goodies; likewise, tell all your friends, family & neighbors, too!!! ...because we can't do it without you. Like us on FACEBOOK, "Olalla Valley Farmers Market" to keep up on the latest information.
