Madrona Farmers Market

This Market used to be further down the hill and nicknamed the MadCap market because it was close to Capital Hill. It's now in the parking lot of the Grocery Store Outlet and has a lot of space and lots of parking. It's becoming a highly anticipated weekly event. From 3-7 on Friday hundreds of locals stroll through here to pick up delicious bread, cheese, fruit and produce. Some highlights are the Olive Bread loaf, the beautiful fancy pastas and Tiny's weekly delicious produce surprises. There are also crepes and tamales if you don't feel like cooking. And I've developed a serious jones for the unbelievably delicious cheesecake Streudel. They were out when I got there yesterday and I'm suffering withdrawls man.Not the biggest or even close to the best Farmer's Market in town. But it's being well enjoyed by the neighborhood and puts a smile on my face on Fridays!

I love supporting local farmers and businesses and love that this is within walking distance to so many people. I also like this location in the GrocOut parking lot better than the old one in the church parking lot.While one of the smaller markets in Seattle, it has pretty much everything you need. I've been lucky enough to have made it nearly every week since June this year. While it's hard to walk out of there without spending less than $15, I'm stocked with fruit and produce for the week. I just wish I could remember my small picnic basket with handles to carry everything that I pick up!

I love this little farmer's market. It's right next to my house and I look forward to it every Friday. It's in a great location and keeps getting bigger as the summer goes on. Definitely a good place to stop by to start off the weekend :)

Madrona's Farmers Market seems to just get better and better with age. A nice mix of vendors from ice cream to meat, fruits & veggies to sweets make it a Friday afternoon must. If you haven't tried Tall Grass Bakery's granola - it it heavenly. I can never decide between raisin pecan or almond coconut.So why not five stars? Call me a bit old-fashion but farmers markets are about the food. The market has added a number of non-food vendors and with its limited space in the parking lot of Grocery Outlet I am left wondering what other yummy local treats I could be enjoying every Friday during the summer.

This is one of the smaller farmer's markets in Seattle. For those who live nearby, it is something to look forward to every week. The location in the Grocery Outlet lot is an added bonus, as you can knock out both your bargain and gourmet grocery shopping at once! My favorite purchase is the Whidbey Island Ice Cream Company pint. Yum!

The highlight of my Friday afternoons! There are so many fantastic things here- Tall Grass Bakery baguette, lots of quality organic produce, expensive but amazing cupcakes, Oaxaca tamales, local cheeses and flowers. This is a small farmers market but it has everything I want while being the best quality. Bring your cash. Plus the Grocery Outlet is fun to wander and see what they have as a good deal.

What a great neighborhood market! It seems to have gotten better and better this year! Ice cream, Sea Breeze Farm, lots of great produce. As an alternative to the super busy University District market on Saturday, it's great!!

The market itself is fine, I just got bombarded by Recall Sawant supporters. It was very aggressive and not what I want to experience at a farmers market. Not going back because of them.

Still love my farmer's market. This year Sea Breeze isn't back (so sad!), but there are new additions that still make me happy. I love that the knife sharpener comes in his van to the market. Get your knives or shears sharpened while you shop at the market. He's even certified to do Shun knives!Los Agaves serves some tasty huaraches if you're looking for a quick dinner. I recommend the pastor for meat.I also want to give a shout out to Alvarez farms. They're another one of our favorite vendors, and they are some of the best pepper growers! They're currently also keeping us stocked with squash and squash blossoms too (mm... fried squash blossoms!)
