Saturdays through November 24th
Hours: 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Tacoma Food Co-op
And, if you can’t make any of those markets, or if you need something fresh, local, and organic in between markets, the Tacoma Food Co-op may have what you need.

6th and Junett
Store Hours: Monday-Saturday 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. and Sundays 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Okay, that’s a lot of choices. Go forth, and eat healthy, Tacoma.
