The Olympia Farmers Market Board of Directors has selected Karin “Wren” Green as the Market’s new General Manager.
Wren was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. She grew up spending hours ambling through Seattle’s Pike Place Market, where her love of Farmers Markets began. Wren’s background includes event management, non-profit management and small business ownership.
“I’m excited about this new opportunity with Olympia Farmers Market. As a consumer, I’ve always believed in supporting local farmers, crafters, artisans, musicians and food vendors. I’m thrilled to help that economic ecosystem continue to grow and thrive as the new OFM General Manager.”
When Wren is not working, you can find her out on a trail with her dog “Harley”, spending time with her family and friends, enjoying a craft cider, and exploring the PNW!
In operation since 1975, The Olympia Farmers Market is home to over 100 vendors from the South Puget Sound area. Now open year-round, over 150 days a year, we see approximately 500,000 visitors yearly. We have a dedicated staff and a volunteer Board of Directors who are committed to our mission “to promote and encourage the development of local, small-scale agriculture and ensure a dynamic market balance for small, local growers and others to make available their products to residents of this community.” We are proud to be an active component of the Olympia community for 45 years. Centrally located on the waterfront of downtown Olympia, in close proximity to the Hands on Children’s Museum and WET Science Center, area residents and visitors can enjoy local farm fresh produce, artisan foods, wine, plant starts, cut flowers, fresh and cured meats, dairy, fresh baked goods, seafood, jams and preserves, confections, handcrafted gifts, local arts and more, with restaurants and plenty of covered seating, all set to daily live music.
