There was an especially great selection of food vendors, particularly bakeries. As with any market, some vendors were warm and engaging, while a handful seemed completely uninterested in interacting with customers. Selling pet products yet not even acknowledging someone walking by with a dog was particularly baffling. The only thing that kept this from being an otherwise excellent market was that many vendors didn't display prices. Having to ask the cost of every item makes shopping less enjoyable and can discourage customers from browsing or making impulse purchases. Posting prices would make the experience much more welcoming and transparent.

TL;DR: small market…read more Parking: paid lot or street parking if you don't mind walking. I came here expecting lots of options but saw less than 20 stalls. There wasn't much variety in terms of produce - only one stall had veggies, the rest all had berries and another had berries and some tree fruit. Produce quality was definitely there though; everything looked perfect. Flowers were about $20 a bouquet and the least expensive berries were $5 for a pint. Only two stalls sold cooked food, the others were pre-made. Overall, don't expect to spend more than 20 minutes at the actual market. The water front view is nice though.

So many vendors, food trucks, and organic produce. This year, the market thankfully is dog friendly!read more

The Mercer Island Farmers Market is Sundays only from 10am-2pm. Located next to Mercerdale Park,…read morethere is reasonable parking within walking distance at nearby lots and along the streets. I decided to visit when I read a pop-up food booth will be there. The market itself was larger than I expected. The size is about two long blocks' length with booths on both sides. Other than farmer stalls, they had a good mix of food booths/trucks selling hot foods, bakery stalls, food stands selling sweets like cookies, non-food stalls selling handmade crafts. They even have a band. It's just me, but I'm ok without a band unless they are volunteers. If some of the booth fees pay for the band, then keeping the cost low is good, too. We arrived at 12:20, ate lunch, then wandered the booths and shopped. The traffic at the hot food trucks/stalls have decreased significantly by then. We found plenty of options buying goodies. I hesitated on the veggies. They look good, but prices are steep. The fruits were surprisingly more reasonable. I know I will return. Dogs under watchful eyes are ok. See red sign in photos.

REDMOND SATURDAY MARKET @ REDMOND…read more Parking is available along the street, although it can get busy on weekends. If you are unable to find street parking, Redmond Town Center offers a free parking garage that is only a short walk away, making parking convenient overall. I absolutely love the Redmond Saturday Market. It is one of my favorite places to visit on the weekends. They always have fresh produce with a great selection of fruits and vegetables, along with many local vendors selling handmade jewelry, artwork, baked goods, and other unique products. It is a wonderful place to support small businesses while enjoying the local community. One of my favorite things about Redmond is how walkable the area is. After visiting the market, you can walk around Redmond Town Center, browse the shops, grab something to eat, or simply enjoy the atmosphere. There are also plenty of seating areas throughout the town center, which makes it easy to relax and enjoy your food or take a break. Overall, I highly recommend stopping by the Redmond Saturday Market if you are in the area. It is a great way to spend a weekend morning, support local businesses, and enjoy everything that downtown Redmond has to offer.

Walking through the space, alternating the resting back arms & side-by-side arms, my perusing eyes veered here... veered there... veered everywhere. My particular focus is generally keeping eyes peeled for all the goodness that is organic (everything from beans & greens, to tomatoes & potatoes). 2nd priority is any vegan treats worth trying and any low/minimal waste candles (such as naked votives; sorry concrete & glass but you're only a nice rare treat). Today I managed a small haul of produce (bean varieties from Garden Treasures Nursery & Organic Farm and more different beans from Alvarez Organic Farms - both had nice staff who shared eating ideas); oh and a small sample of ginger peach muffins from Liberated Foods. As far as my list, very solid! Next time planning to get some greens and garlic. They are limited with vegan eats and home decor votives (which are super rare in these markets I've seen, if at all).

We came across Wholesome Food (formerly NAANWA Bakery) on our search for great Middle-Eastern…read morebread. Coming from Metro Detroit, which has the largest population of Arab Americans in the US, I was used to freshly baked flatbread everywhere, many baked in traditional tanoors. The selection around the Seattle area is not nearly as great, of course. Wholesome Food is a combination grocery store and bakery, with the entire right half of the store dedicated to bread. Behind the counter, we saw shelves upon shelves filled with freshly baked loaves. The employee (perhaps owner?) was super friendly and answered all our questions. Surprisingly Metro Detroit doesn't have many Persian bakeries (only a single one I know of) and I never visited. This means, of course, that I had to pick up the barbari! Wholesome Food also sells Turkish Flatbread, but I only wanted one loaf to start. Barbari ($4.99) - They sell two versions of this flatbread, one made with whole wheat and the other made with regular flour, which I went with. The bread is very thick for a flatbread. It actually feels pretty similar to focaccia in crumb, being open, chewy, and moist. It's baked dry rather than in oil, so it doesn't develop the fried crisp, but instead gets a nice crusty skin. It's baked with fragrant sesame and nigella seeds on top which gives a great flavor. (5/5) Wholesome Food sells some really good flatbread! I'll definitely be back for more in the future.

You are asked the usual questions of have you been in contact with anyone who has been sick before entering. Inside, the booths were spaced apart. From what I noticed, there were 2-3 strawberry booths, 4 veggie+fruit booths, 2-3 flower booths and a handful of other miscellaneous booths in the realm of food. Given the size, it's an easy market to walk around, look at prices and decide what you want within 30 minutes. An update: I went again this week for more cherries. Compared to last time where we were still in phase 1, there were more people visiting + 1 more vendor I didn't see last time, popcorn! I just wanted to add that they are limiting the number of people inside, and the person with the questions has a spray bottle of sanitizer if you want any sanitizer.

I enjoy diversity and seeing how farmers markets attract everyone of all socioeconomic backgrounds. I also give a shout out to the vendors that throw in an extra apple or fruit to those in need.
