The Shoreline Farmers Market Opening Day is this Saturday, June 14, celebrating the beginning of its 3rd season. It will again be located on the upper level of the Shoreline City Hall parking garage, 17500 Midvale Ave N. Hours are 10am - 3pm every Saturday through October 4.
This year the market looks to continue growing and supporting a healthy, active and involved Shoreline community through the promotion of local farmers, fresh food, artisans and non-profits, among others.
There will be free Organic Coffee from Shoreline’s Café Aroma at our information booth, music throughout the day starting with the Northwest Junior Pipe Band, games for the kids, contests, a raffle, and other giveaways. In other words, a whole lotta fun!
The market is open rain or shine and the Shoreline Farmers Market is proud to have access to King County’s only “flex market” that can go completely under cover in the event of unseasonable weather. This happened last second on a stormy day last September and although it was a slow day, the market viewed this as a huge opportunity to use this flexibility as an asset in 2014.
The Shoreline Farmers Market Association also believes a key component of a healthy community includes access to high quality local foods for all. In 2013 market vendors donated over a ton of fresh local food to Hopelink and other food banks. The market also matched funds for low income families to stretch their SNAP dollars further. In 2014 the Shoreline Farmers Market is looking for sponsorship opportunities to keep the SNAP Matching program active.
Will you be at the market Saturday? If you can’t make it for opening day have no fear, the market is open every Saturday until October 4th this year. If you have any questions or would like to get involved contact the market.
