For the complete produce calendar please click "What's Fresh When?"

You'll also find fresh goat and other specialty cheeses, pasture-finished, hormone-free meats, wild fish, free range poultry & eggs—not to mention dazzling arrays of flowers and hot oven-fresh breads, a wine bar and coffee shop. Adding local brilliance will be craftsmen designers of furniture, ceramics, garden art, jewelry and much more as well as purveyors of hand-made soaps, lotions, perfumes and exotica. There’s over one hundred vendors in mid-season in a block long street market..

The Market goes all year round, albeit with fewer produce vendors in the winter owing to the seasonality of most growers, but wild tuna and shrimp, orchard fruits, fresh picked organic hot house greens and vegetables are still available as well as a variety of offerings from crafters.

The Farmers Market began in 1990 in Fremont. In 2000 the Fremont Sunday Market split in two, sending the Farmers Market and a significant number of original crafts people here to Ballard. It continues to blossum today as Fremont’s sister market in historic Ballard Avenue. We urge you to discover this beautiful European-style farmers markets and explore the rest of the neighborhoods while you’re here.

We gratefully acknowledge Mayor Nickels and the City of Seattle, and our merchant neighbors and customers in Ballard whose support makes this wonderful market possible.
