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 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.

The market also features live music, cooking demos, and other special events throughout the peak season.  See Events pages for details.

Our prepared food vendors are now located in the "Market Bites" area, next to the market in the H-Heights building entrance courtyard.  Market Bites offers a great selection of delicous, locally-made foods, made with seasonal, farm-fresh ingredients as much as possible. 

Hours and Location:

Open every Saturday year-round, 9am to 2pm.  Located at the corner of University Way NE & NE 50th Str, Seattle, 98105, in the south lot of the University Heights Center for the Community. On-street parking can be found in the vicinity, and the market provides tokens to shoppers for one free hour of parking in nearby UDPA pay lots (note: the north lot of the University Heights Center is for U-Heights tenants only, not for farmers market shoppers).   You can also check out our facebook page.

The University District Farmers Market could not exist without the incredible support of our landlord, the University Heights Center for the Community, a vital community center which serves as the "heart" of Seattle's University District neighborhood.  This historic school building houses a rich and diverse family of educational programs, classes, events and other community organizations including our U-District farmers market.

The NFMA also thanks the Greater University Chamber of Commerce for their ongoing support of the U-District Farmers Market.
