The Lacey Farm Stand

The Lacey Farm Stand is closed for the 2024 season. Its opening in Spring of 2025 promises crisp, fresh, and delicious produce! On its third year of operation, the Farm Stand has grown enough that it has left the small barn-like building on the edge of Martin Way in favor of the size and amenities of the Lacey Food Pantry. Now providing over 100 households a week with local and organic produce, the Farm Stand serves as a meeting place for community members, farmers, and gardeners alike. During the growing and harvest seasons something magical happens as a small team of Food Bank staff and volunteers orchestrates a cacophony of veggies and fruits into a wonderful display of free produce!

Designed to be set up much like a farmer’s market, the Lacey Farm Stand operates out of black produce crates stacked neatly on wooden shelves. There you will find a great variety of herbs, vegetables, and fruits. During certain weeks in the summer there may also be herb and veggie plant starts available to take home and plant in your own garden for later enjoyment.

The Farm Stand’s primary focus is offering produce that is fresh, nutritious, and local. Much of the produce is sourced from our Gleaning Program and our Olympia Kiwanis Food Bank Gardens Program. We have also partnered with local farms to receive a weekly delivery of fresh produce funded by a Farm to Food Pantry grant through the Washington State Department of Agriculture and Harvest Against Hunger. In addition, we are lucky to receive frequent donations from local community and home gardeners who bring us their excess produce to be enjoyed. We are incredibly grateful to all the farmers, gardeners, volunteers, and community partners who help keep our shelves stocked.

What makes the Farm Stand so special is the unique nature of its distribution. Open on select Saturdays, our goal is to offer an option to clients who are unable to visit during the week. Healthy eating is the focus of the Farm Stand, and we enjoy giving out recipes and swapping tips on how to prepare and cook the various fruits and veggies available each week. The energy the overall community brings to the Farm Stand experience is one of warmth, gratitude, and fun.

The Lacey Farm Stand is open on select Saturdays from 11 AM–1 PM, generally from February to October. The schedule is posted on our Location Map, Calendar, and on social media the Friday prior. Come visit us for some delicious fresh produce, fun recipes, and community connections!
