Founded in 1998, the Columbia City Farmers Market was voted Seattle's Best Farmers Market in the Seattle Weekly's annual "Best of Seattle" contest for 2012.  Over 40 Washington State farmers and small food vendors make this market a popular weekly destination; market days are full of the colors and sounds of shoppers from around the world who live and work in this historic neighborhood.

A visual and aromatic feast, farm tables at this market are loaded with the region's freshest, in-season fruits and vegetables, eggs, honey, ciders, cheeses, seafood, pasture-raised meats and poultry, jams, preserves, cut flowers, and nursery stock.  Local food artisans bring fresh bread, prepared foods and other goodies.

The Market hosts weekly events such as cooking demos, produce tasting, live music, and activities for kids.  See Events pages for details on special happenings.  Complimentary red shopping wagons are available to borrow from the market information tent on a first-come, first served basis. 

*Special alert: chefs only can shop the market an hour early!  If you are a professional chef or restauranteur, we've reserved a special "chefs market" hour from 2 to 3 pm at the Columbia City Farmers Market.  Public shopping begins at the usual time (3 pm).  If you have questions, check with our market staff at the Info Tent.
