The Washington County Farmers’ Market will open with local goods raised and produced within Washington and adjacent counties on Saturday, May 11.  The market will continue on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m – 12 p.m. at the Washington County Justice Center parking lot at 801 Jackson St. in Salem through October.  When produce is more plentiful later in the growing season, the market will also open on Tuesday evenings 4-6 p.m.    

The Washington County Farmers' Market provides growers and producers of Washington and surrounding counties an alternative market for their "locally grown" agricultural products for the benefit of the community.

Items offered  at the market include fruits, vegetables, dried/fresh herbs, plants, cut flowers, honey, eggs, unpopped popcorn, meats, etc.  Some minimally processed food items can also be sold and include: maple syrup, jellies/jams/preserves/butters, sorghum, frozen persimmon pulp, dried fruits/vegetables, cider, etc.  Baked goods such as breads, cakes, and cookies as well as wood, natural and homemade crafts are also offered.  All products must meet state and local regulations. 

Vendors are required to sign a Washington County Farmers’ Market contract.  The contract is available on the Purdue Extension – Washington County website at https://extension.purdue.edu/Washington or by contacting the Extension office at 812-883-4601.
