Farmers' markets aren't just for fruits and veggies either. You can find meat, dairy, jams, eggs, seafood, herbs/spices, artisan breads, fresh pasta, ready-to-eat foods (take it from us, the pizza from the Ballard Farmers' Market is not to be missed). You can even purchase jewelry, art, candles, and clothing. It's a wonderful way to spend a weekend morning, and a great place to bring family and friends. (Hint, hint: a great date spot!)
So what are you waiting for? Click here to find a farmers' market by you. Some markets are open year round and others are seasonal, so be sure to check.
Come visit us at the University District Saturday Farmers' Market March 5 and 12 from 9 am to 2 pm. We will have a booth set up, and a few of us dietitians will be sharing our nutrition knowledge. Free advice and a few goodies, why would you miss it?
See you there!
