Okanogan Valley Farmers Market - Omak

The Okanogan Valley Farmers Market says its mission is to enhance the business success of its vendors, a practical focus that fits a Tuesday market serving Omak through the growing season. In Omak, the market runs at Omak Eastside Park on Omak Avenue East, giving shoppers a regular weekly stop from June through October rather than a one-off event. The broader market organization traces its roots back more than twenty years, beginning with local people informally sharing the bounty from farms and gardens before growing into a structured market with a board of directors and established programs.

Why it matters locally

The market organization began with a few local people sharing produce from their farms and gardens, and that origin still shapes its local role today. Its stated mission centers on helping vendors succeed in business, which puts the emphasis on sustaining small producers and makers, not simply staging a weekly sale. The market is governed by a board of directors with policies and procedures meant to keep the organization in compliance with local, state, and federal laws. Donations support specific programs including Kid’s Corner, advertising, market insurance, and other market efforts, showing that the operation extends beyond vendor stalls alone. In Omak, that means a seasonal market tied to a local park setting and a parent organization investing in programming as well as sales.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix pairs farm products with baked goods, crafts, and handmade items, matching the market organization’s description of fruits, vegetables, baked goods, beauty products, and crafts from local artisans. The current Omak roster is compact and specific, with named farms and makers rather than anonymous category stalls.

Story Time at the Omak Market is also part of the schedule, adding a recurring activity tied specifically to the Omak location. The same organization also runs a separate Saturday market in Okanogan, but the Omak market itself is the Tuesday afternoon session.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is one of the clearest visit rules to plan around before heading to the park. The Omak market takes place at Omak Eastside Park on Omak Avenue East, and its Tuesday 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. window makes it more of an afternoon stop than a morning errand run. Early sales are prohibited before the start of the market in order to comply with city and insurance guidelines, so arriving before opening will not give shoppers access to pre-market transactions. The market’s vendor application materials also emphasize adherence to market rules, policies, and guidelines, reflecting a structured operation rather than an informal pop-up.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at the market, an important option for shoppers planning to use food assistance benefits for eligible purchases. The market organization also handles payments by debit card, credit card, checks, and PayPal for donations and sponsorship support, indicating a setup that already processes multiple payment types within its broader operations.
