Come volunteer at the SeaTac Farmers Market! We have a variety of activities available for all ages, interests, and mobility levels. These can include:

  • assisting our vendors with booth set up and tear down
  • packing our free, local organic produce bags for food insecure families
  • assisting with distributing youth bucks
  • welcoming customers and showing folks around the market
  • helping count and pack leftover produce after market for free distribtion
  • petting cute dogs
  • and much more!

Please note: our biggest need for assistance is in the afternoons between 1:30-3:30 pm, and evenings between 6:30-8:30 pm, and you are always welcome to join for as much or as little time as you are able.

The SeaTac Farmers Market features vendors of color from cultures across the globe bringing fresh, local, relevant food and goods to the SeaTac community. We also bring in a variety of community organizations providing essential social, health, education and other services. This is an entirely non-profit enterprise - we take no cut of sales from our vendors and rely on the generous support of volunteers to assist with our operations.


Our market offers variety of food assistance programming including free local produce grab and go bags, SNAP-EBT matching, $5 youth bucks so all kids get a chance to shop for themselves, and much more to ensure free, healthy options are available for all in need. At the end of market, we purchase leftover produce from our farmers and distribute free of charge to community. Our markets center culture and cultivate community, working to build food security in historic food apartheid zones (or food desert neighborhoods) along with access to holistic health and wellness programming, while eliminating barriers to market access for farmers, chefs, and artisans of color.
