Markets

ud crowd 2008

Our seven Neighborhood Farmers Markets are local, "producer-only" markets.  This means we sell only Washington State farm produce and processed foods (no crafts, flea markets or wholesalers).  Farm produce includes fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables, herbs, nuts, honey, dairy products, eggs, poultry, mushrooms, meats, fish, shellfish, cut flowers and nursery stock.  Processed foods include jams, preserves, wine, ciders, pickled vegetables, fresh pasta, artisan breads and other baked goods.  Everything on the market tables is grown or produced in Washington by the farmer or vendor who is selling.  Our seven markets are:

Dog Policy at the Farmers Markets

Every season we get asked why we allow dogs at some markets but not others.  Shoppers on both sides of the equation (pro-dog and anti-dog) often have strong opinions, and many valid reasons both pro and con for including canines at the markets.  Farmers markets in Washington State are free to make their own rules about dogs at their markets (in other states, such as California, it is illegal to allow dogs at any farmers market).  Our policy differs from neighborhood to neighborhood based partly on shopper survey results and partly on the logistics and setting of each market.  The majority of dogs are well-behaved, but we have had incidents of dogs jumping up and eating samples off vendors' tables, dogs getting into fights with each other, and dogs on leashes causing obstruction or safety hazards.  Fortunately these incidents are uncommon, and because the markets are walking destinations and leisurely outings for many, many shoppers, we try to accommodate dogs where we can.  Of course, service dogs are allowed at all markets.

The markets that allow dogs are: Columbia City, Magnolia, Broadway. 

No-dog markets are: West Seattle, U-District, Lake City, Phinney.
