Ballard Farmer's Market

Simply the best farmer’s market in Seattle . Open year round. Get your eggs early (before they sell out). In addition to the food/farm vendors , don’t miss Finn River , or the pay-what-you-want poets.

So much fun to walk around! Lots of free samples and awesome street performers . Upbeat, dog-friendly, and great for families!

The best farmers market in town . A must do, especially if you have visitors from out of town . Lots of great vendors and a wonderful experience. Love, love love.

On the north side of the market sits a stall that makes unbelievable amazing fresh small donuts . Don't blame me if you gain ten pounds from them.

One of the most Seattle things about Seattle is the neighborhood farmers markets … Ballard’s is the most famous, but there are many, so look for one that fits your schedule and location.

The bulk edible flowers are amazing in a light spring/summer broth or salad , and the price/quality is considerably better than what you'd find at a grocery store

Awesome fresh produce . Get some Whidbey Island Ice cream on the way out. ????

There's something for everybody at this market - especially those with an appetite! I recommend sharing a bag of warm cinnamon and sugar doughnuts in the winter here.

Great year around farmers market with a good variety. I highly recommend Stokesberry farm and sea breeze farms . Parking can be a challenge.

Lively , energetic market place that includes artisans and crafters. This location is ideal to walking and shopping in the local boutiques too

Big on food, low on trinkets and crafts. Excellent market !

Dante's Inferno dogs are the best! I love the vegan chipotle dog with cream cheese !!! Yummy!

Don't forget to bring a shopping bag or too. Dogs are welcome. Woof!

Visit the vendor with the homemade soda ! Watermelon basil and cilantro lime jalapeno flavors were so refreshing!

Really vibrant farmers market , you can buy your produce and get something to eat

HOT TIP: Pen ultimate Blue state faux pas? Forgetting to bring reusable bag to Farmer's market . As punishment, must engage in discussion about either Proust or David Sedaris while drinking merlot .

Head over to the Wilson Fish Market . They have the best smoked salmon and friendly folks who hand out free samples .

Great selection of fresh veggies . Dante's Inferno Dogs are the best around.

Get the mini donuts and chocolate covered popsicles after a slice of Veraci pizza .

Great place to find a lot of healthy and natural eats! Small and local vendors ...love it! {www.thenaturalita.com}

Get the breakfast sandwich from Nature's Last Stand. Then get another one.

Too many great stands to list, come here to put together a clean meal at the same price as your grocery

Amazing fresh seasonal local produce , cheeses , fresh pastas , smoked salmon and hand dipped ice cream .

• The Ballard farmer’s market is AMAZING. They’ve got so much fresh meat and produce it’s ridiculous. I used to go to the Fremont market but they’ve got way too many trinkets and rarely have produce Read more

Make sure you bring plenty of cash and plenty of reusable bags .

Check out the school-age buskers! There was a little duo in soccer shirts on string instruments singing the white striped! So cute !

Tons of local organic produce in the middle of Ballard. Lovely atmosphere!

Try the Loki salmon sliders . They're delicious!!

Best donuts and awesome wild mushrooms !
