Family Fun at the Farmers Market

Hello to fans of the Phinney Farmers Market! It's raining today, but tomorrow the sun may shine again - keep your fingers crossed! Even if it's damp, chances are good there will be sweet berries and cherries and we know there will be plenty of other good food and treats to choose among.

Kids of all ages are invited to join neighborhood favorite, Gary Paine, for a sing-a-long set under the canopy from about 4-6 tomorrow afternoon. Make a request for "You are my Sunshine" and chase the rain clouds away!

When it's too wet out to enjoy bike riding and sidewalk chalk, click this link for a great coloring and activity book about farm fresh food from Washington State.

Hope to see you at the market tomorrow and every Friday!

Sunshine and great buys at the Phinney Farmers Market this Friday!

Looking for some sunshine?

Word has it that sunny skies are scheduled to grace opening day of the Phinney Farmers Market. Come by the PNA booth this Friday and pick up a sturdy canvas shopping bag (3 great design choices for only $15 each) or take home a sunny farmers market t-shirt featuring art by PNA member, Sandy Nelson. Shirts come in women's and men's cuts and are on sale for only $10 each. Check out the summery style!

Farmers Market Season Approaches

In less than a month we can reinstate the Friday ritual walk to the Phinney Neighborhood Center for fresh food and friendly exchanges with neighbors. June 3 is opening day (3-7 pm) and we've got some fun entertainment and special visitors planned. However interesting they may be, let's remember that the local farmers and producers are really the *STARS* of the show! The beginning of the season is very weather-dependent and we know it hasn't been great this spring. Let's all make a special effort to get out and support our faithful market vendors early in the summer, knowing we'll be rewarded as the weeks go by.... just think of those fragrant berries, shining tomatoes, and sweet corn!

In case you haven't already heard, the market is moving up the hill to our upper parking lot, much closer to Phinney Avenue. We're also welcoming dogs (and their well-behaved owners) back to the market for the 2011 season. Thanks, as always, to the Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance, our partners in bringing you this great community event all summer long. Check out this link for an interesting article about the affordability of farmers market produce and plan to have a pocket of cash on opening day!
