Crossroads Farmers Market

Writing an update 5 years after my initial review.The Crossroads Farmers Market hasn't really changed all that much in the last 5 years. It did move into the parking lot next to the main building as it previously had been in the parking lot fronting Crunch and Stone Gardens. The hours have changed slightly as it is now open on Tuesdays from 12-6 pm.The selection of vendors is pretty much the same. You will find about a half dozen vendors selling fruits and veggies along with a number of vendors selling specialty foods and meals. I see the same fruit and veggie sellers here, but the prepared foods vendors have changed a bit. Among the current food offerings are pizza from Veraci, malasadas from Hawaii's Donuts and a new stand serving Chinese food.I have been coming to this farmers market more frequently during the summer for my produce needs. The prices are pretty reasonable and the produce is fresh. Some items were just harvested the previous day! There are also a couple Asian produce sellers so it is nice that I can pick up some Chinese broccoli and pea vines here.While the product selection is not as extensive as other farmers markets in the Seattle area, I like shopping here as it is close to home and a good place to pick up some fresh local produce at a reasonable price.

A decent variety within this small farmer's market. There are 31 vendors including crafts, berries, produce, dairy and meat, flowers, processed foods, and hot foods.

I've been wanting to come to this place for a while now to check it out and I am pretty disappointed. It is actually a decent size market but like some reviewers says, there was a lot of repeating stalls. So overall, there was maybe only 5 or 6 different stalls all together. There was at least 6-7 stalls selling fruits, a couple selling flowers, one stand for lemonade, one for kettle corn and shaved ice, one for ice cream, and one food truck. Nothing else. I also came at 450 and they were already packing to close even though it doesn't close till 6. Overall, I am most likely not come back here again

What's there NOT to love about this open-air weekly market? It's close, convenient, friendly, and there's always live music. The concierge stand will sell you a super-big, super-strong farmers market canvas bag for $7 and then every time you bring it to the market, you get a wooden token good for $1 worth of merchandise at any market stall. The market is open 20 weeks... do the math... you can MAKE MONEY on your spiffy bag!Everything has to be grown or made by hand in Washington state (and the market managers DO check).Vendors include:Acma OrchardsBlue Cottage JamsCC's BakeryCha New Life GardenClassic Kettle CornCollins Family OrchardsEssential BakeryFamily Peppers & ProduceFull Circle FarmGarden TreasuresHawaiian Shaved IceHayton FarmsKayeng Chen FlowersMagana FarmsMartin Family OrchardsPaula's Pepper JellyRaft Island RosesSidhu FarmsSmith Brothers Dairy (monthly)The French BakeryThe Old FarmerVal's Surroundings HoneyWhitney FarmsWillies GreensYeng GardenYoungquist Farms

A feast of farm fresh fruit (and veggies)! This is a great farmer's market. It's in the rear parking lot of Crossroads Mall on Tuesdays. There's quite a selection of farm stands. The night I visited, I was able to find fresh organic pickling cucumbers, some very nice eggplant, and some fresh pears and nectarines. One stand had a great selection of hot peppers. Prices are very reasonable.Other wares included some potted perennials for crazy low prices, and the usual assortment of craft type items (soap, earrings, and so on).Bring a bag to carry your purchases, as not all the vendors provide them.There's usually a food truck so you can pick up some dinner to go.

I have heard about this compact farmer's market for a long time. I finally went there today. Good - they take credit card- not pricey veggies. - garden burger- Papparddelle's not only offer interesting, flavored pasta (Basil Tangerine Fettuccine, Chipotle Pepper Fettuccine, Orange Szechuan Linguine, Red Jalapeno Fettuccine, etc), they also provide recipes. I have bought Asian Orzo (Sesame, Lemon Ginger, Cayenne Pepper, Chive and Garlic Parsley) and I bet it'd be good!!!!-easy parking Bad-compact, 15 boothsIt is not the best farmer's market in our area. It is convenient and easy parking to shop though.

This is a great little outdoor farmer's market located in the back parking lot area of the Crossroads shopping center. Lots of good variety with so many booths full of fresh produce and food vendors along with flowers, baked goods, and lots of other fun stuff.For me, this is a nice change of place in comparison to all the normal lunch places I go to week after week. I can pick up a pizza, some tamales, or a bag full of fruit to bring back to work. On a sunny day, it doesn't get any better than this.One area they could improve would be to find a better location in the parking lot. Where its at serve its purpose, but it just feels wedged in to the space and could benefit from more room and better exposure.

We stumbled upon this market. It was fairly small but had some produce available. I believe I might even saw a mushroom stand.

I don't usually visit farmers markets but I really wanted cherries since its cherry season. This farmers market is fairly small and likely even smaller than usual given covid19. You are asked the usual questions of have you been in contact with anyone who has been sick before entering. Inside, the booths were spaced apart. From what I noticed, there were 2-3 strawberry booths, 4 veggie+fruit booths, 2-3 flower booths and a handful of other miscellaneous booths in the realm of food. Given the size, it's an easy market to walk around, look at prices and decide what you want within 30 minutes.An update: I went again this week for more cherries. Compared to last time where we were still in phase 1, there were more people visiting + 1 more vendor I didn't see last time, popcorn! I just wanted to add that they are limiting the number of people inside, and the person with the questions has a spray bottle of sanitizer if you want any sanitizer.

The Crossroads Farmers Market occurs every Tuesday from 12-6PM, right across Crunch gym and the Bellevue Police Department on the backside of the mall. I've gone a few times, and found that the farmer's market is much smaller than other markets on the Eastside, including the Bellevue Farmer's Market. Many of the vendors are farmers selling their local produce, with few craft vendors and prepared foods. What's nice is that there is provided covered seating with picnic tables for anyone visiting and eating at the market, and the location is very convenient as there's a ton of parking at Crossroads Mall for it. Plus, there is no restriction on dogs, as they are allowed, which unfortunately, is not the case at other markets. However, a lot of the farmers sell the same products as the others farmers here, so there isn't much variation, and I've found that food trucks listed on the website to be present are sometimes not here. I do like when the Crossroads Farmers Market has particular events going on, like a food truck festival where a handful of trucks will be present, as they've done so in the past and it's made for a livelier market. But overall, this market is fine. I'd recommend visiting if you're already in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to specifically visit this market due, to duplicated farmers being at other Eastside markets where there is much more variety and options.
