Located on the outskirts of downtown Yakima, the Rotary Marketplace is where you'll find the farmers market. You'll see a mix of visitors from out of town (last time I went, I met an Australian guy who was doing a stop in Yakima before he proceeded on his bike tour across Washington) to local families lugging tiny tots in wagons, and couples with their pets on a leash.

One of the great things people love about our farmers markets in the region is that you can use your EBT cards there and some items can be purchased with WIC, too.

When I go to the farmers market, I love to buy tomatoes, freshly baked bread, and at least one fruit that is in season, like blueberries.
