Description
Seattle Neighborhood Farmers Markets bring Washington State farmers into the city to sell their farm fresh produce. By providing direct-sale opportunities for local farmers, in-city farmers markets ensure that farmers continue farming our precious rural farmlands, keeping them economically viable and intact. The markets help provide a living wage for more than 140 of our region's small farmers.
City dwellers have a safe, family-friendly gathering place to go to for the freshest, local fruits and vegetables available. Shoppers come face to face with the farmers who grow our food and have the opportunity to:
Not only are the markets great places to shop; they also provide strong spillover effects to the neighboring businesses and community. They are all certified to accept electronic food stamps and WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program Coupons. And, at the end of the day, farmers donate leftover produce to neighborhood food banks. In 2001, they collectively donated more than 39,000 pounds of food.
