Lake Forest Park Farmers Market opens on Mother’s Day

Lake Forest Park Farmers Market

Sundays, May 11 through October 19, 2014

NEW HOURS: 10 am – 3 pm

Spring is in the air, reminding us that market season is just around the corner. And this is a special year at the Lake Forest Park Farmers market as we celebrate our first decade. We are grateful to our community for ten years of support. In that time, we have grown from a small market to one of the State’s most successful suburban markets. Thank you!

We are thrilled to welcome back many of our veteran vendors who have been with us from the beginning. From farms as far east as Wapato and Sunnyside, south to Puyallup, and north to Arlington and Mount Vernon, our farmers are ready to bring the bounty of Washington to us.  

This season we spice up the market with a new pepper jam vendor, Angry Fish. You can expect tempting seasonal jams made with fruit from our farmers. Also, our friends at R Heritage have been busy raising chickens so we can have fresh eggs this season. If all goes well, their new ducks should be laying soon too. Stop by and welcome Ben and Monique Russ back, and find out  what they have been doing at the farm.

Our annual crafts market takes place on Sunday, July 13. Applications for this juried show will be available on our website on May 14.  

The alpacas will be at the market on opening day

This season promises to be our most musical ever. With generous funding from 4Culture, we will host special performances by local musicians. And be sure to watch for announcements about two food truck events later in the season.

As always, we accept SNAP benefits, and WIC and Senior vouchers.  Please stop by the information table for more information.

The best way to stay in touch is to "Like" Friends of Third Place Commons on Facebook. We also list updates on our website. When you click on one of our events on the home and market pages, you can sign up to be notified of new listings via email.

Every week promises to bring new experiences and delicious fresh food for us to enjoy. See you at the market!
