Great ambiance. Wide variety of fresh foods to choose from. Reasonable prices…read more Friendly vendors and lots of families and dogs.

When you go to the farmers market in Yakima, it really is traveling to the epicenter of the farm…read moreportion of farm-to-table. While it's not a giant market, it encompasses about two city blocks and has Thirty or so vendors. The majority of the vendors are from farms either in Yakima or some of the neighboring communities. When we first attended a few weeks ago, there was an incredible amount of produce available. It ranges from veggies, to berries, to just about any type of fruit you could imagine. The best part however was the fact that there's really not a lot of price difference between here and the stores around. And most farmers markets that we have frequented, there's a significant markup - fortunately that really was not the case here. Aside from the produce, there were a good number of ancillary booths including those specializing in wood carving, a couple cheese makers (YES!), a sausage booth, a few jewelry spots and a number of local organizations advertising to the community- we talked with the master gardeners and they're a fun bunch! The food available here was pretty legit too. A Filipino booth boasts some incredible pork and beef skewers, there's tons of good Mexican food options and a number of other booths rotate through. We're excited to keep seeing what rotates through. In addition to this being a great market, there is incredible potential given the surrounding area. I wouldn't surprise me to see the number of food trucks continue to increase and the non-produce options continue to expand. A+!

We have been part of their summer CSA for the past three years and I highly recommend them! We get…read morea small box for our family of three (was two) and we have been so happy to get the best summer fruits in our boxes. First off, their sign-up and pick-up is easy and done online through Farmigo. Their CSA subscription is flexible in that you can put a delivery hold and get credit back. Their customer service is very responsive.... and best of all, you get to enjoy the best summer fruits like cherries, plums, peaches, and nectarines! They do a great job informing you what's in the box, and what's going on at the farm and give you notice when the boxes are delivered to your pick-up location. I appreciate the transparency in their communication. This year, for the first time, they partnered with another farm for berries. We jumped on that since my toddler can consume so many berries. However, maybe due to the weather this year, the berries were quite disappointing in sweetness and size. About three weeks in, my husband and I decided we wouldn't get the berry next summer. Well, Collins Family Orchards sent an email shortly after saying they were not of the quality they were expecting and refunded us for the remainder. I appreciate their proactiveness. It made it so I had more confidence in getting the berries again if it is offered next year.

I have never been so disappointed with a vender at a farmers market! Shame on Collins Family…read moreOrchards for having such poor selection in fruit and actually selling sub quality fruit today at the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market. I understand that vendors have to follow COVID restriction guidelines by selecting produce for the customers, but we should be able to trust that quality selections will be made on our behalf. I was buying 1 pound of Rainier cherries today which are $7/lb - not cheap but worth it. Over half of the cherries these two gals selected were spotted, bruised, had those weird little appendages and just looked bad. I couldn't believe it. It left me feeling I couldn't walk away and feel good about this transaction so I was honest and told them these cherries were not good and wanted to exchange for the other cherries which were big, juicy and healthy looking. They were rude and wanted me to take the discards with me since I had *touched* them. Maybe they can't resell them because they've been touched by a customer, but seriously, they shouldn't have been selling those anyway - they were discards to begin with. I will NEVER buy from this vender again and I suggest that you double check the quality before you walk away from the stand.

Where to even begin on this blue goldmine! A third generation local farm with certified organic…read moreu-pick berries that produces there own sorbet on site - it's like a dictionary for all things foodie! The best part is - as you'd expect from the Yakima Valley - it's totally laid back! Located about 2 miles from the main drag in Wapato and a mile or so off Lateral A, is this 20 acre garden of blueberry eden! A giant "Blueberries" sign and some arm flailing tube gents (wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men for the family guy aficionados among us!) greet you from the street. Parking is available along the road coming in or next to the main building up on your right. After arriving in the main area, just off to your left is a small building where the folks who work here and hang out. Everyone is very nice and got a set up with buckets, harnesses and directions to the different types of blueberries. There are 4 or 5 different kinds of blueberries available and while a distinguishing palate may detect subtle differences, we felt like they were all just amazing! There's truly nothing better than picking fruit right off of the plant and being able to eat it or take it home! After we finish picking about 12 pounds of different blueberries, we went in to check out the fabled Sorbetto! As the name would suggest, it's a cross between sorbet and gelato. It comes in four different flavors currently and they have two available here in general. What we didn't know, is that they actually produce the stuff on site and it's a commercially available product in Seattle, Portland and Yakima! While we were enjoying this amazingly creamy treat, we got to sit down and chat with the president of the farm. He told us about the process of making the Sorbetto and how the base is not made with Milk, but rather 80% blueberries. The raspberry and blackberry options that we tried were absolutely delicious and it was hard to believe that this majestic cold to treat was dairy free. By the time we left, we had three giant bags of blueberries, full stomach's from both blueberries and Sorbetto, and full hearts from having discovered our new favorite place to get blueberries! This is one of spots that your must try!

Wonderful to have such delicious ORGANIC fruit and picking it myself was great …read more.. This is a wonderful place .., great people and well run ... clean and organized YUMMMM I made delicious Blackberry jam and gathered plenty of Blueberries I'm looking forward to the next time I go
