People, some with their dogs are leisurely strolling in between the stalls examining handmade jewellery, handmade soaps, dog snacks, a cookie shop, fresh produce and Japanese pastries to name a few.

Wasn't too busy on the long weekend Sunday today but parking isn't an issue. Enjoy the rose garden across the way too!

There was live music in the middle of the square where there was outdoor seating. We enjoyed a box of donuts while we figured out a brunch game plan. This gem is a must when you're in town.

With it being so popular, it can get a bit crowded regarding people and parking. It's a common spot to visit and I can definitely see why! There are a ton of food options, small shops, drinks, and random entertainment. While walking through, we saw a magician and an acoustic guitar performer. A lot of the shops we stopped at had quick and efficient service, they must be used to the crowds. My only regret was not being able to fit all of the different foods I wanted to try! If you're visiting with a small party or have a small appetite, definitely look up the different options prior to selecting something. (:

There is some food, coffee, both freshly brewed & available to purchase, flowers, knitted goods and the market will have an estimated 60 vendors by mid-summer! Not as crowded yet as the Bellingham Farmers Market and parking is easier too. As Ferndale is an up & coming town it will only grow and become better! It is along the river & it is very clean with benches every so many yards & really pretty. I love having this here where I live. Check it out!

I brought home 4 donuts: Oreo, Ube Coconut, Leche/Dulce Flan and Apple Pie. These donuts were scrumptious! I love how generous they were with the fillings. There was so much filling spilling out when I cut these donuts. While I was at New Westminster Farmers Market I also bought a few truffles and a Caramel Crunch chocolate bar from Drunken Chocolatier . They have such interesting flavours. Coconut Sambal truffles for instance...I've never seen any other place selling a Coconut Sambal truffle! Lots of crunching to be heard when we ate the Caramel Crunch so it definitely lived up to its name! Their chocolate truffles look so picture perfect. "Artisan" chocolate is an apt description for these chocolates as they really are a work of art. I was impressed already by the chocolates they were selling at the New West Farmers Market. I'm sure I'd been even more impressed if I went to their store on W Broadway.

I enjoy going to different farmers markets in the area, and the…read moreBellingham Farmers Market is an exceptional one that I was able to check out during our weekend up north. It's a fun, large market, with a lot to choose from in the heart of Bellingham. The Bellingham Farmers Market occurs on Saturdays, so when I visited, I made my way over there an hour after it opened, and it was already packed! People get here early for the market even in the rain! I was impressed to see the large crowds with the wet weather, but it didn't stop us, Washingtonians. It really reminded me of a community event that many of the locals spend time at on their Saturday mornings - love that. The market takes place in downtown Bellingham, and has an outdoor area, along with a large indoor space where the market staff have a booth, selling their merchandise. It's also a dog-friendly market, so expect to see a lot of furry friends. There was live music, plenty of vendors of all specialties, and was next to a seating area where people could enjoy their market eats. I had a fun time, checking out all the vendors and supporting the local economy. I would happily be back to the Bellingham Farmers Market when in the area.

The mug stand Capture Gravity shows the many beautiful shapes and sizes of breasts on nicely handcrafted mugs. I also saw many dogs loving their specialty pupcakes and I was sad my pups weren't with me this time but I'm sure they would have just been begging for more. Sea to sky mushrooms & wild foods even had the prettiest mushroom display I have ever seen! Everything here was unique and this was a great market to walk through while visiting. Mountain Meal Prep gets an honorable mention for their unique dehydrated meal prep idea. It's a healthy and easy alternative, especially for those who love camping! You get tons of nutrients and all of the flavor compacted conveniently in a mason jar and you just add hot water! Woof & stuff was my personal favorite with Amanda's cute collar options. I bought a yellow cactus collar for my black border collie and he looks so dang cute! Memorial Weekend was a busy weekend here but it added to the fun and there was lots of stands to see. The food vendors in the back were definitely very busy with constant people lining up for good food.

* Top u-pick! *…read more We've been on a U-pick kick this summer, trying to explore the various organic options available. This farm is now at the top of our list for U-pick! Here's why: - Really feels like a family farm. A couple and their little girls were all under a sun tent waiting for u-pickers to greet you. - Peaceful. We didn't see any other u-pickers at all. It was like being in a private blueberry field! - Very friendly. The man walked us into the field and showed us where the good blueberry bushes were that were perfectly ripe and ready to be picked. None of the sending you off to the fields to search randomly for the good stuff! - Quality. The bushes are older, and produce an amazingly sweet richly flavoured berry. We enjoyed them yesterday with some of our homemade vanilla ice cream. Today they are going into a blueberry crumble - which I can't wait to sample when it finishes baking! - Ease of picking. The bushes had huge numbers of berries clumped together. They almost looked like bunches of grapes! You literally could put two hands under a clump, give it a bit of a vibration and dozens of ripe berries fall into your hands. - Farming methods. This is a certified organic farm. Not just "following practices" as many claim. Fully certified. They also are certified biodynamic. So you know it is long term sustainable. Very nice. It feels good to eat things you know have not been contaminated with pesticides, and also that are fully sustainable so they will be there for years to come. - Setting. Located in the Chilliwack Valley, but fairly close to the mountains. So you have a beautiful view of the mountains while picking. Call me crazy but somehow it didn't feel as hot as when you are in an open field with no mountains in the distance. So even though it was 28 degrees it was quite comfortable. - Price. For organic they are very reasonably priced at $2.20/lb. They took a bit off for the weight of the bucket too (80 cents) - very fair pricing. - Setup. Even though you are in the middle of a field, they have a portable water cooler so that you can wash off your hands after picking. There is a porta-potty too. But we didn't venture in there. So no comment on that! The ripe berry bushes are also covered in a clear mesh tent so that the sun still gets in, but the birds do not pick away at the ripe berries. So you enter through an opening in the mesh and totally feel outdoors, but in reality it is a semi-protected environment. The farm grows all sorts of things (carrots, beets, squash, beans, cucumbers, arugula, kale, romaine, corn, and even beef and eggs), but focuses the u-pick on berries. The other products are available from them through their farmer's market visits apparently. Overall this is just a wonderful day trip getting a bit out of the city, seeing the scenery, picking some amazingly sweet berries, and enjoying playing with the farm dog (who is very friendly as well). We'll definitely be back!

I like this market because they have a good selection of vegetables at good prices. I really like…read morethe note about not being open Sunday, because the owner would like their family to attend church ( shows good character IMO ) The one good thing during the pandemic is that it is a neighborhood store within easy walking distance. Getting a walk in to get groceries kills two birds with one stone, getting exercise for seniors the additional benefit. I actually am going for my walk out their way to see if I can find tofu; forget to check last time I was there a couple of days ago.

I spent a weekend at the Doe Bay Resort, on another part of the island, but visited the downtown area for an afternoon with my husband and some of our friends. We ended up spending most of our time at the Orcas Island Farmers' Market, which seemed like the place to be on a Saturday afternoon. It was super fun and festive, a bunch of vendors set up on a wide green lawn, with tons of people out enjoying the various offerings and the lively atmosphere. We wandered around, browsing the crafts and food stalls. I ended up getting oysters--raw, grilled, and fried--from Local Goods and a Polynesian plate from Moa Grill. Some tasty, substantial gratuitous snacking. If you're on Orcas Island during a farmers' market Saturday, I'd definitely recommend stopping by for some food and people watching. It's a great way to experience the vibrant villagey feel of this lovely island.

There were at least a dozen food stalls selling anything from home baked bread, cookies, donuts, Mexican food, and Asian. There were stalls selling arts and crafts which are unique to Orca's. We picked up some lunch and enjoyed as the local band sweet music on the stage. A few folks and their kids got off the ground and started dancing. What a scene, as if it's out of a movie scene. It was truly magical.
