Mission
of Friends of the Olympia Farmers Market
Promote
healthy, locally produced food and goods; Support local sustainable
agriculture; and Preserve the Olympia Farmers Market as a creative environment
and vibrant community gathering place.
Friends of Olympia
Farmers Market supports the long-term growth and success of the Olympia
Farmers Market by donating items and granting money to make improvements
to the facility. Revenue is dependent upon membership fees, donations,
business sponsorships, sales of commemorative paving bricks, and ticket
sales from the Annual Taste of the Olympia Farmers Market.
