I'm still trying to figure out the Farmers Market experience. I assumed it was a place to get goods…read moreat a fair price, but after visiting several markets, I'm not convince that is the case. It's more of a community bizarre, and the pricing is aggressive to say the least. At a recent market, there was a seller selling tomatoes for $11 a pound. How are you selling direct to the public at a rate at almost 4x local stores. Matter of fact, I was in Chinatown this week and a seller was selling tomatoes for $1.40 a pound. No, the Chinatown tomatoes weren't as round or as pretty as the farmers market, but I suspect once sliced they taste the same. Puyallup is a hike, but reviews were plenty and positive. It is so far the largest market we've seen. There were plenty of choices. What I have learned is to walk the property before spending. It's easy to see something you like and buy it only to find another vendor selling for less. I can easily give this place 5 stars for selection, but pricing is a single star. Chocolate at $60 per pound. Jerky at $50 per pound and a glass of lemonade for $8. If you are bringing your signature items to market, be fair in how you price. I can get a gallon of lemonade for less than $5 at Safeway, a pound of jerky from Oberto for about $30 and a pound of candy for about $30 at See's, even closer to $20 if you buy certificates from Costco. I love to support the little guy, but I suspect short of the farmers, some of these sellers are doing very well for themselves.

I love this farmers market! There are so many vendors offering produce, hot foods, flowers, and…read moremore. Some grocery stores really stretch the definition of "local" to somehow mean selling fruits from California, but this market enforces a tighter definition of local meaning exclusively from Washington state farmers. The market is well spaced so that while it's busy, you're not packed cheek to jowl, and there's room to form orderly queues. The only downside of this market and the main reason I don't visit more often is that getting here poses some challenges. The light rail doesn't go here (I'm still waiting for a legitimate ETA for the Ballard Link Extension, really, how long can 8 miles take??) and finding parking is a nightmare. The other reason is that I'm always so tempted to over buy the hot foods and bakery goods since everything smells so amazing here!

Ballard Farmers Market was my favorite farmers market in the greater Seattle area for many years…read more Recently, the booth count seems to be less than before, with restaurants occupying the street space (understandably) along two blocks. Subsequently, I lost some interest since I don't live nearby. While I was in Ballard on a recent Sunday, I rushed to the market to see if it was still open. Officially, it was not; they closed at 2pm. But they were still packing up. I believe they are not allowed to sell after the official closing time; I asked one vendor, they declined. The staff wants the streets to reopen as soon as possible. As I walked the two blocks, several vendors still have some items on display on their tables. With a bit of wink, wink, accidentally dropping cash on the table and accidentally taking things off the table, I walked away with goodies. I won't say what I bought to avoid anyone getting into trouble. Street parking was easy enough nearby on a Sunday.

While most of the parking directly in front of Anthony's is reserved for their customers, there is still plenty of parking available nearby, including visitor parking for the neighboring building on weekends. The market is clean, well organized, and even has clean public restrooms, which is always appreciated. One of the highlights of my visit was Perkins Family Farms. I had the pleasure of meeting Llewyn Merrill, the sales manager, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He freshly shucked oysters for us right on the spot for only $3 each, and there was no minimum order. The oysters were fresh, delicious, and definitely worth trying. We also picked up several baked goods, including the cheese bread and a plain croissant, both of which were very good. The cheese bread had great flavor, although it was a little chewy, likely because it had been baked earlier that morning. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at the Olympia Farmers Market. There was an impressive selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, berries, mushrooms, seafood, flowers, local crafts, and other unique products. The friendly vendors and welcoming atmosphere made this an enjoyable visit from start to finish. I highly recommend stopping by, especially to visit Perkins Family Farms for their outstanding fresh oysters and excellent customer service. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Olympia!

It is a smaller farmers market which skews towards fresh produce over prepared foods.

This is Des Moines, Washington and not Iowa. This Des Moines is part of the Seattle metro area. This market we really just stumbled across and didn't plan it. So that was a nice perk! We really only intended to explore the downtown area and the pier that we spotted. This market is cute. I think we like the ones in Tacoma a bit better as it is a bit small but they had a lot of food items from vendors that we haven't seen in Tacoma. From here we spotted some Portuguese tarts and since this is the eve that I am writing this review before we go to Spain and Portugal I figured I'd add this review before we depart tomorrow. We had this trip on the horizon and knew to try them here so we could compare them once we got to Portugal. The tarts were great and then we got some handheld flat bread pizza that was excellent from another vendor! We got cookies as well and are still working on them! So despite this was a smaller market we bought plenty! We'd love to come back sometime whenever we can make it happen!
