Founded in 1998, the Columbia City farmers market brings over 40 Washington State farmers and small food vendors to this historic neighborhood in Seattle’s Rainier Valley. Market days are full of the colors and sounds of shoppers from around the world who live and work in this community.

A visual and aromatic feast, farm tables at this market are loaded with the region's freshest fruits and vegetables, organic produce, free-range eggs, hazelnuts, honey, ciders, cheeses, seafood, free-range chickens, pasture-raised organic beef, goat meat, jams, sauces, cut flowers, nursery stock, fresh bread and other baked goods.

The Market hosts weekly events such as cooking demos, produce tasting, live music, activities for kids, and gardening and composting information.  See Events page for details on market day happenings.  For a list of vendors and products at the market in the 2010 season, click here.
