South Tacoma Farmers Market

WSU Extension is one of the organizations connected to South Tacoma Farmers Market, a useful clue to the market’s wider place in Tacoma’s food and farm network. The market runs on Thursdays from April 2 through September 24, creating a midweek option for shopping with EBT/SNAP, WIC, Senior Nutrition Vouchers, SNAP Market Match, and Apple a Day tokens all accepted. That combination makes this market read less like a once-in-a-while street fair and more like a practical weekly stop for produce-focused shopping and lunch-hour errands. South Tacoma Farmers Market is located at 3873 S 66th St in Tacoma.

Why it matters locally

WSU Extension appears alongside WSDA, the Washington State Farmers Market Association, and Pierce Conservation District in the market’s partner roster, placing South Tacoma Farmers Market inside a network tied to farming, food systems, and public outreach. The market also lists Multicare Center for Healthy Living, CHI Franciscan Health, Tacoma Housing Authority, Emergency Food Network, and Sound Outreach among its community partners.

That mix matters because the market’s own programs and services language emphasizes support for local farms, food access, community booths, and small business incubation. In practice, South Tacoma Farmers Market sits at the intersection of farm sales and access work, with partners that span city agencies, health organizations, housing, and food assistance groups in Tacoma and Pierce County.
