Locally grown obscure mushrooms? Check. I love this place and the fact it's less than 10 minutes from my house. I try to come here for all my veggie needs. It's a little more expensive, but you pay for quality. Food doesn't have to ripen on the way to Alaska, so you can actually taste the sweetness and fullness of every vegetable sold here. Open from 9AM-2PM. Get here early. Parking is limited.

Then our cucumber lady who also sells lions mane mushrooms. Didn't have the mushrooms today, but we still have some from last week. Then Arctic Choice the seafood monger! Today 1.5 lbs of side stripe shrimp I'll make a Ceviche from. What Lingcod Yes - darn they ran out NOooo! Okay they had white king salmon my wife's favorite but I opted for Simpson Bay AK Oysters! I grill these in my special new cast iron oyster skillets! 2 dozen Oysters are a weekly staple during the summer when the markets in full swing. We then went and grabbed some super huge radishes from another vendor. Oh yeah a bread that's super high quality that Leila can eat Calugine from Zoi Food for life it's special for wheat sensitive people and vegans. Then to Beach Tribe Sodaworks for a 4-Pack of Jamaican Kombucha - Perfect with Gin - A Kombucha Gin & Tonic - Hello. All vendors take cash, some take credit cards so bring some of both. There's always something good there!

Wow, what a great sense of community!…read more I highly recommend stopping by the Spenard Farmer's Market, the earlier the better. The feel isn't that of "kitschy touristy keepsakes", as the downtown market often is. These are all local businesses run by locals. In addition to lots of fresh produce, there are also lots of hip new businesses serving up great eats. And they have live music. They've also got "kiddie tables" for the little ones. Some of the businesses I've seen here include: Dipper Donuts: https://www.yelp.com/biz/dipper-donuts-anchorage Pikiniki: https://www.yelp.com/biz/pikiniki-anchorage Spenard Windmill: https://www.yelp.com/biz/spenard-windmill-anchorage?osq=windmill

Got a lot of really great souvenirs during my visit to the festival earlier this summer!…read more Due to COVID there weren't a ton of vendors when I visited in August, but I ended up purchasing items from 4-5 of them. There were so many interesting wares and the sellers were all lovely people, so it was a really pleasant way to spend an hour or two on a Saturday morning. I bought a few carved wooden mushrooms made from fallen trees (I kept one for myself and gave two as gifts- the recipients loved them!) An older couple was selling them along with carved wooden bowls. The craftsmanship was excellent and all of the products were really unique and beautiful. I also had a nice chat with the sellers, who gave my newly married husband and I some useful advice on long term relationships! They also gave us one of the carved mushrooms for free, as a wedding gift, which was unexpected and so wonderfully kind. I just wish they were online so I could buy more!! Other great items we found / purchased: - Native made jewelry from a woman who handpicks all the pieces herself. Some really fantastic pieces at great prices! - Containers of tea from a woman who makes the mixes herself using chagga mushrooms she finds locally and items from her garden. - Christmas ornaments made from clay and carved by an Alaskan artisan (some have sled dogs, seals, etc) There were also vendors selling food, popcorn, fur, wood signs, and a few other things. I wish I got to see it during a normal season, but even during COVID I thought it was great! Would love to go back if I ever find myself in Anchorage again!

This market has thinned out a lot since my visit 13 years ago. Today when we went (a Sunday in…read moreJune), there was one total strip of retail and food vendors combined. The rest of the lot was amusement park rides. There was a booth to dress up and take photos with Alaskan huskies, ulu knives, handmade candles, fur, photography, jewelry, and my favorite: Christmas ornaments made of Alaskan clay. I had to get one and start my travel Christmas tree ornament collection. Paid parking across the street and they were actively ticketing!

Although this is a small farmer's market, all you need are a few stalls with excellent stuff & you have a simple salad, a delightful dessert or a versatile vegetable fricassee. There's stalls with fine flowers, healthful honey, a parade of pickled items like garlic & other pickled delicacies, marvelous mushrooms, various vegetables & flavorful fruits. Most take credit card. I learned about pink as wells as lion's mane mushrooms. And I know that $2 for a bunch of orange beets with vitamin filled beet greens to boot is a showstopper. Don't even get me started on $3 giant leeks. I could eat just those with toast points. While it may not be for you, nobody gets more excited or fanatical about a festive farmer's market.

It's also perfect to stop here midweek (Wednesday's only) if you end up missing the Saturday market like I will. The Northway mall farmers market is another one that is open on Wednesdays which is also worth a shot. I am a sucker for fresh produce and Alaska vegetables are to die for. The day long sunlight up here in the north creates some of the sweetest carrots and crisp vegetables of all climates I've experienced. You must try a farmers market and their carrots if you're here in the summer.

It was nice to be able to get locally grown produce and especially nice to get things not available at a place like Costco, where I usually do my bush shopping. A lot of the produce was super-sized and this worked out because even though the items were often priced by weight, there was a max price per item for many of the veggies. Some of the most memorable items were several colors of giant cauliflower heads, a massive daikon radish, and big bunches of greens.

I came in with a client who happens to have special needs. I arrived first to get the lay of the land. Sutton, the man behind the smoothie bar, was warm and welcoming. When he learned that I was waiting on a client, he immediately asked me kindheartedly if he could accommodate my client in any way- reducing the volume on the music, lights, etc. Once my client arrived, Sutton worked some serious magic, engaging my client in conversation, teaching about how the smoothie machines worked, and generally being a decent human being towards my client who is often marginalized. Their conversation nearly made me tear up. This visit started off as a journey to learn about a new business in town and how to order a smoothie and turned into one of the best outings my client and I have done. Go for the great vibes, tasty smoothies, inviting atmosphere, great produce-- but most of all go support this wonderful business with a heart of gold.

And the convenience of fresh produce coming to your door every week can't be beat, I've even added local milk deliveries (though I wish I could automatically have it come each week without having to add it each time). I get the harvest box which is perfect for my family of four. My amazing 7 year old daughter decided to become a vegetarian June 2012, since she has gone meatless the rest of the family only eats meat a couple times a week (I could probably give it up but my husband never could) so we go through a lot of produce. I also enjoy that the produce is so varied. There are so many things I've never tried and I love receiving items I wouldn't regularly buy because then I get to try new things. For example, I never buy any squash besides pumpkin and I've bee having fun preparing a variety of squash recipes. Also, I had never heard of Rainbow Chard before getting these deliveries and it is the most beautiful green and I love making Rainbow Chard Alfredo, sooooo good! My experience with Full circle deliveries has been awesome! Though I do think they could replace the box with reusable totes. I get milk in a cool pack I have to return each week, I wouldn't mind doing the same with totes.
