Biggest farmers market I've been to, I think. Really great vibe and lots of fresh produce. I didn't take the whole thing in one shot, definitely coming back on weekends to keep exploring.
This is a VERY special Farmers Market. Not only does it have tons of freshly grown produce, meat, bread, fish and cheese, but there are lots of delicious hot food stands. Stand out corn dog (from someone who hates them) made from fresh sausage and a gluten free dough, ethiopian food, pastries, south East Asian food, fermented delicacies (shout out to Symbiotic Culture) and fresh pasta. And the FRUIT! Wow, berries, cantaloupe, peaches and plums. Extraordinary selection and world class preparation!
Everything is so expensive, normal person can't afford any of this stuff.
Visited on a Sunday and was honestly surprised by how busy and lively this market was — much busier than I expected! If you want to avoid the crowds, definitely come earlier in the morning. There’s a huge variety of vendors here: lots of fresh produce, flowers, food, and more. I noticed several peony flower stands (4–5 vendors!), which was really nice to see. Overall, it’s a fun market to walk around, and I can understand why people say it’s the largest farmers market in Seattle. That said, I did find some of the produce prices pretty high — noticeably more expensive than the Redmond Farmers Market. The cherry prices especially shocked me… 1.5 lbs for $19 felt pretty outrageous 😅 Still, a vibrant and enjoyable market experience with plenty to browse!
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
Probably the best Farmers Market is Seattle. There is something for everyone and it's one of the best way to spend your Sunday morning. High quality stuff! Also the things you get here ranges from Ethiopian food, jams, flowers, dessert, Portugese delicacies, mushroom and many more locally made sourced products. The best time to go here would be on Sunday morning between 9 - 10 AM.
One of the biggest farmers markets around Seattle and my favorite to visit. Tons of vendors, an amazing selection of fresh fruit and veggies and always great for getting soup stock. It's fun to walk around and grab coffee and something tasty. Love that it’s open all year, even during the cold/rainy season.
Ballard Farmers = Excellent Farmers Market A year-round farmers market, the Ballard Farmers Market was larger and more varied than expected. This extensive market has a great and well-attended vibe. Food stalls, knicky knacks, pet oriented purveyors, flowers, plants, fruit, clothing --it's all here at the BFM. Port-a potties available. Handicap doable but be aware, the BFM can be crowded. Final take---highly recommended.
Tried Falafel Salam at the Ballard Farmers Market and absolutely loved it! The market has such a cozy, cute, and festive vibe with beautiful lights, and this food truck fits the atmosphere perfectly. The food was fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying. They’re open every Sunday from 9am–2pm, making it a perfect weekend stop. Highly recommend Falafel Salam if you’re visiting the market!
