The University District Farmers Market is Seattle's oldest and largest "farmers-only" neighborhood market.  Founded in 1993, this Saturday market offers a place for more than 50 Washington State farmers to sell their fresh produce and quality products each week.  The market is now open year-round, with a great selection of fall and winter produce, eggs, meats, poultry, seafood, baked goods, preserves and more throughout the holiday season and chilly winter days.

Featured items at the market include an astounding variety of local, seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables from both sides of the state, herbs, wild mushrooms, fresh farmstead cheeses, free-range chicken and eggs, pastured organic beef, pork, fresh oysters and salmon, nuts, ciders, honey, fresh cut flowers, nursery stock, fresh bread and other baked goods, as well as numerous jams, fruits spreads and condiments from local farm-grown products.  For a list of vendors and products at the market for 2008, click here.
