Lakewood Farmer's Market, A Lakewood Tri-Lake Treasure

Now that we are in late September, the last of 2015's Lakewood Farmer's Market is over.  So.....here are some pics in case you already have farmer's market with drawl...

Fresh produce is one of the biggest draws for Lakewood Locals.  

 Not just fruits, veggies too....at good prices and fresh and local.

 Berries are a favorite, pictured here are black berries from Hayton Farms, earlier in the year you can also get raspberries, Marion berries, blue berries and lots more.

 There are also other local items, such as local honey from Robbin's Honey Farms

Also there are lots of hand crafted items available. Including this booth with a huge variety of items handcrafted by people with disabilities or living with out a home.  This organization helps them sell their items and create viable businesses to improve their lives.  

 

 Each week you will also find some form of live entertainment as well.  


Plus food booths and informational booths such as those offered by St. Clare Hospital, Lakewood's local sponsor to the Lakewood Farmer's Market.

When can you attend the farmer's market again?  Lakewood's Farmer's market runs from the first week in June to the middle of September each year and are on Tuesdays from late morning to mid afternoon.

Considering being a vendor? You can get applications in as early as May of each year.

There are a few other markets near Lakewood in Tacoma and surrounding areas, some on other days of the week and some that run longer. Proctor farmer's market is open from Late March or early April until Mid December and are open on Saturday....so if you are missing our Lakewood Farmer's market, you can get up early and have an early morning drive/date on Saturday and still get your farmer's market fix until next year when Lakewood's farmer's market opens again.
