Especially during the summer when they're having events. Everything sold there is really high quality, hence the high prices, and the service is top notch.

Ok so I was like a kid in a candy store finding out that the point Ruston indoor farmers market had…read morefinally opened! Tacoma deserved this because driving to pike place is cool but we needed our own and we now finally have it. And not to be basis or anything because like place market is part of Washington culture but this point Ruston farmers market has the potential to be its own pike place and bonus it doesn't have a ton of trash all around, stench and just is 10x cleaner. But I love a good farmers market and here you can find everything from crafts to produce, meats, flowers, just speciality foods and so much more. It was so fun to see. I'm a huge bagel baker so I had to stop at the Seattle baking bakery stand because they had a ton of cream cheeses and so much more. Then another stand that caught my eye was the fresh cheese stand. Bathrooms here were spotless as well. There is a 2 hour free parking which almost isn't enough because there's also the waterfront and a playground for kids and tons of restaurants and other stores nearby. But you can pay for additional time. Some stands did seem a bit overpriced but you have to remember they have to pay a huge fee to be able to sell here so it's understandable. It wasn't overly crowded and I just can't wait to go back and explore some more.

There's definitely a lot of food options here. Some are a hit while others are a miss. This time we got pizza and Filipino food. The pizza was really good but the Filipino food wasn't, especially for the price. I definitely expected more. I also love that they have my favorite kombucha place as well as a lot of baked goods. Parking is a pain as you probably have to fine parking 1-2 blocks out and walking there but it's not too bad.

I usually come for the Brix 25 restaurant's focaccia bread and local farm's strawberries. Today I tried out new places... the Bella Bella bakery and dim-sum place. Every weeks are little bit different business comes and goes... but some of businesses are regular. I like this cozy little water front farmer's market vibe. They have entertainment with music and nice water front view and people are kind and friendly. Parking lots are always hard but i usually parked the post office area. It's good distance to walk down to the downtown. Sometimes like to stop by the local restaurants to get some coffee or ice cream.

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!

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.

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!
