Buy One, Donate One

Did you know? Each week we collect donations for the local Renton Food Bank at our market.  Most of the donations come from our generous farmers - now we are asking our shoppers if they would consider helping out, too. Buying an apple? Consider buying another apple and donating it to the Renton Food Bank.  See our donation station at the Market Manager booth for more information. 

Total health takes teamwork. Kaiser's coordinated care teams work with you - and each other - to help keep you healthy. And that's important - because something as simple as having doctors and specialists who talk to each other can speed up your care, improve your treatment, and let you focus on living your life. Staying healthy should be easy. With the right team, it is.

When our popular SNAP Market Match program ran out of funding, our teammates at Kaiser stepped up to fund the program for the remainder of the season. Thank you to our partners at Kaiser Permanente.

Tips of Shopping at the Farmers Market

• Know what’s in season! Each Monday we will send an email that will include the produce that we expect to see at the Market the next day (ALWAYS subject to change!) and you can also learn more of what you might expect each month by visiting the Seasonal Food Guide.
• Plan meals and come with a shopping list, but be inspired! Shop with your eyes - when you arrive at the Market take some time to walk around and see what looks good - don't be afraid to try something new. Check out our handy online vendor map to see who is expected at each market and where they will be (ALWAYS subject to change).
• Bring change – with high credit card fees, most small businesses appreciate cash – but we do have cashless vendors as well – so bring cards, too!
• Bring your own bags – also, bring your own water bottle as we have water stations available.
• Go early – for best selection! Especially in early season, popular produce may be limited in quantity and sell out.
• Go late – for best deals! But remember, this is how our farmers make a living, so be respectful of pricing.
• TALK to the vendors! This is really the heart of a Farmers Market – you can TALK to the farmer or person who made the product themselves. They love talking about their farms and products. Also, ask if a vendor has a box/glass/container return credit, and find out if you should bring that box or glass back next week for a deal.
• Buy in bulk. Oftentimes, vendors offer deals for bulk purchases. Of course, you will need to consume it or preserve that produce before it goes bad. One of our favorite resources is the National Center for Home Preservation, they have 'How-To' articles on freezing, drying, canning and more methods to enjoy your produce all year long.
