As you may have heard, or read in the Olympian, there is a farm-to-market project at the Lucky 7 convenience store located at the corner of 4th Ave. and Eastside St, at the edge of our neighborhood. Now fresh organic produce direct from the farmer is available right nearby on days when the Olympia Farmers Market is not open!
Left Foot Organics and Rising River Farm are now selling their produce at the Lucky 7 Food Store at 1026 East 4th Ave – CSA shares available as well.
Left Foot Organics is selling produce from a cooler inside the store on a daily basis and Rising River Farm has started a farm stand that is open on Wednesday’s from 3 pm – 6 pm in the parking lot of the store. This project is facilitated by Thurston County Public Health and Social Services through
funding provided by the Washington State Department of Health through the Centers for Disease Control’s Communities Putting Prevention to Work program. For more information contact Lesley Wigen: Wi****@************wa.us or 360‐867‐2515.
