Farmers Markets are Seattle's best places to find locally-grown, seasonal (and delicious) farm-fresh food.  In July, you'll find more and more berries, cherries, apricots, apriums, beautiful heirloom lettuces, all kinds of greens, artichokes, bunches of fresh herbs, shallots, leeks, celery, radishes, fennel, broccoli, carrots, fava beans, cauliflower, sweet peas and sugar snap peas, hothouse tomatoes (totally safe!) and other veggies...plus farmstead cheeses, pasture-raised meats and poultry (including goat, chicken, beef, pork), local seafood, eggs, honey, jams, ciders, wild mushrooms, dried fruits, pickles and flower bouquets. Support local farms all year 'round!
